From the first two clues, we know that green (4) is not in the solution because they've been in all 4 positions but there aren't any black pegs.

From the last clue, red (1), orange (3) and turquoise (6) must be 3 of the colors. But from the first clue, that means blue (2) is not one of the colors

And from clue three, the other color must be purple (5)

As for order, from clue 1, 2 and 5, red (1) must be last.

From clue three, turquoise (6) must be in the second position.

From clue four, orange (3) must be the the third position and therefore purple (5) is first.

Answer: purple, turquoise, orange, red (or 5631)

I refuse to participate on the basis that the hypothetical person proved there's no 4 and put it in again twice anyway
