    I was a little wrong in my guess for green and even more wrong in blue, but I had enough of a general idea in both to make the connection.

    Spoilers

    Green I thought was just “animals used as metaphors”, because to my knowledge bull and bear are economics, but hawk and dove are foreign policy, not econ.

    Blue I thought was things you might talk about when you first meet someone.

      green

      I’d never heard of economic hawk and dove either, but they seemed opposite like bull and bear. The only other animal was doe and I couldn’t think of much that could be a metaphor for. I enjoyed purple today though.

        green

        Apparently hawk and dove in economics are to do with monetary policy, in particular about whether they prioritise keeping inflation rates low or other policies.
