Honestly yellow and blue can go burn in hell today. I don't think I ever had to search for so many eords from one of these puzzles.

Really proud of myself for this one π₯Ή blue especially I felt really good about

I was really torn on whether to put Mona Lisa with the other smiling ones to make a category since her "smile" being ambiguous is a huge part of the art discussion around her

Blue was unnecessarily convoluted. And what even is purple?
Yeah I'd have never gotten purple in a million years were it not the last category, if you've not seen the movie you're just kinda fucked π
Spoiler
I actually thought blue was fun, but I'm a little biased since I grew up as an art nerd and solved it. It was definitely a hard one though.
All of them have gained some kind of "imperfection" that's become part of their fame. The statue of liberty is green now from coper oxidization instead of copper colored, Venus de milio is missing her arms, the liberty bell has a crack, and the leaning tower of Pisa is leaning because the ground it was built on was too soft and one side sank

I thought blue was just landmarks/attractions also wasn't the sphinx altered?
Spoiler
The Great Sphinx at Giza (usually spelt in English with an i) famously is missing its nose. A common (but unsupported) myth says that Napolean shot it off when he was occupying Egypt.
Sphynx cats (usually spelt in English with a y) are a breed of hairless domestic cat. Though I'll admit when doing the puzzle, it didn't occur to me, and I was just thinking about the Sphinx as being a cat body.
Blue is

"ATTRACTIONS ICONICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR ORIGINAL FORMS"
I didn't know sphynx is typically spelled differently if it's the cat breed vs the big monument, but as zagorath mentioned it already fit into another category; connections will do that sometimes and it expects you to solve other options to eliminate some if you have too many answers for a given theme. It's frustrating, but part of the puzzle π€·ββοΈ
::: spoiler Purple is about The Big Lebowski. Not a movie I've ever seen personally (tbh it looks unbearable), but fairly popular. There's even an instance of Lemmy dedicated specifically to it, with one community: !achievers@lebowski.social
