“Palette Episodes” was a fairly vague topic, but it quickly became apparent that we were looking for colors.
The TV part came to me later, as I ended up splitting the game in half, first getting the colors and then the second word of the corresponding classic TV show – although I'm not sure which BLUE BLOOD belongs to this respected company.
It's been a while since we've had Strands, which mixes the blue and yellow palette, and it's always a strange pleasure.
