Trying to complete a quiz with proceeds going to Children in Need. Out of the 36 questions i'm stuck on 5 answers, so if you are good working out criptic clues have a go. The theme of the quiz is colours and the number in brackets at the end indicates length of answer. e.g.

Colourful Lady associated with the scaffold? (4, 3, 4) Lily The Pink


1. Complete the sequence: Green, one, blue, five, brown, ten (6, 6)

2. Shades found in the junior school? (7, 7)

3. Hunt the icy antlers for this colour (4)

4. Colour to be found at the end of the price rise? (6)

5. In Scotland it sounds like this greyish brown colour is never on the bottom? (5)


Happy quizzing

Thanks
