My group was green:

original pile of green objects

colours organised

We organised them by working from the edges of the other colours, for example the greens which had a lot of blue in we put towards blue and work away from, the same with the other end yellow. Eventually we ended up with a deep dark green in the centre with the lime greens going one way and the turquoise greens going the other.
