Blue would be a good start.

Have you come across yellow, yet? It's lovely.

All the complex ions for which you need to know the colours of are listed on the spec.

I was a Q in which you weren't meant to know the colours, you were meant to work them out through electrode potentials with information given in the Q.

Stop panicking.

Start picnicking.

Ah, I haven't seen the question, a teacher mentioned it. Thanks
