I think I've written 'blue' first every single time so far (hopefully not this time since it is the subject of my post) from force of habit. Never seen any corruption of my post though.
Kinda surprised it isn't at least picking a color at random so you have to actually look, or putting a 'green' or 'blue' block there and asking "what color is this?" but I guess for the most part RWT is not a big target for spammers.
