Do we? We've got five of the six colours but how can we be sure (yet) which five are the right colours?

Hey! You guys had a puzzle going and none of you told me?! How dare you? I'll edit this after I figure out exactly how this thing works, I've played enough Mastermind before.
Edit: Ok, I see edited posts aren't allowed. I'll just wait for either somebody to post after me or for 10 minutes before I make a suggestion, then.

purple green aqua purple black blue
Answer: 0 black, 3 white

yellow purple green red blue aqua
Answer: 1 black, 4 white
The first two guesses share the four colors in bold. According to the first guess, the final answer can include at most 3 of those 4 colors. So at least one of those colors must be incorrect. As one of the bold colors is incorrect, red and yellow must be part of the five colors we know in the second guess.

We also know that black is incorrect, and that there is a maximum of one purple peg.

3. guess: green purple red yellow white aqua

Answer: 0 black, 4 white

@Austrobogulator: I appreciate your correction, I mix up "loose" and "lose" sometimes, because "lose" is also a german word - and it means "loose" in english. And then there's the german word "Lose" (with capital "L"), which means "lottery tickets". :)
