  • Inspired by [user's solution](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283376/283384#answer-283384), I found the minimum number of initial characters that uniquely identified each color. I then golfed if further by realizing the ones at the end of the list don't actually have to uniquely identify the color, because the ones it couldn't determine would have been caught already. (E.g. `green` and `grey` need the `gree` to determine green, but if it isn't `green` then it must be `grey` and we can catch that with just `g`)
