no such thing as ocean blue. On any given day an ocean can be 1000 different shades of blue. Otherwise, good job.

"orange things" and "ball and stick games" do not feel specific enough to me as categories. Is fire orange? A hawk could be orange, and "fireman" works. Is aqua properly blue? One says "midnight blue," but not "aqua blue."

I think the red herrings would be clever, but the whole grid was too blurry to work for me.

I love it!
