How to approach it
Treat the prompt as a taxonomy exercise rather than a memory test. Sketch four or five large domains where the colour occurs without human help, namely living creatures, minerals, geological formations, celestial objects and optical effects in the atmosphere, then spend a couple of minutes listing everything you can inside each one. The second pass is where the value lies: for every general entry you write, push one level narrower, replacing a broad group with a particular member of it. Precision is what separates a crowded answer from a distinctive one. Keep a shortlist of odd, hard-to-spell names too, since obscure corners of the natural world are exactly where a puzzle like this rewards curiosity. Submit your most specific defensible pick, not your first thought.
Get a hint
Start with the broad kingdoms of life and work downward: the trait turns up in creatures of the air, the water and the leaf, so no single habitat has a monopoly on it.
A little more
Non-living nature is just as productive, since the mineral kingdom, deep geological features and deep space all supply candidates that casual players rarely consider.
One step further
For the biggest score, aim at the narrowest possible label, meaning a single species, one named formation or one particular celestial body, rather than the general family it belongs to.

Why these answers count
The reveal is enormous, 3,824 accepted answers, yet almost all of them sit in a single band: 3,646 entries earned 85 points and only 150 settled for 60. That shape tells you the puzzle rewards specificity rather than popularity. The 60-point group is the small pool of broad, obvious picks that nearly every player reaches for first, and sharing them costs you. The 85-point tier is the sweet spot, filled with precise labels that most people would never produce: Aberrant oakblue, Abyss Pool and Achernar each scored 85, along with thousands of similarly narrow names. Only one answer, Marble berry, touched 100, which suggests the top band was reserved for the single most obscure defensible entry in the set. In practice, a two-word scientific or geographic name beats a one-word everyday one, and anything a child would say in the first five seconds is almost certainly a 60.
