fruit and colour names

[mollykins]

Out of the standard primary and secondary colours, it is only orange that is a fruit aswell?

For example you get apple which is a shade of green but green (nor purple, blue, yellow or red) are actually fruits are they? Just checking for a quiz, it's a simple question but there might be some exotic rare fruit called a blue etc etc . . .

Molly, a prune is called a prune in both English and French too - you could complicate your question by asking what the connection is between oranges and prunes (both have the same name in both languages)

I did say standard, several times.

I supose wording like that might be better, but it won't catch people out as much, who say nothing rhymes with it . . .

[boxtops]

No, coccinelle will correct me - forget that - it's a plum in English which is a prune in French!

I think most people think of traffic lights when they think of primary colours, RYG and the rest are in the colours of the rainbow (light) ROYGBIV

When setting a quiz, though it is good to puzzle the participants you can easily alienate them by making the question either too convoluted or not clear enough.
Saw a very nasty incident at a Pub quiz some years back, involved a set of darts and the quizmaster still walks with a limp. LOL

The round of the quiz is about colour, so far I have;

What is the only country to have a flag with only one colour? for a bonus point name the colour.

What are the primary colours of light?

but need about ten questions

RED BLUE GREEN
