Silver has it, but Gold or Bronze have it not.
Purple has it, but Violet or Magenta have it not.
Orange has it, but Red or Yellow have it not.

What are we talking about? Can you add another color that "has it"?

Of course the "correct" answer is that Silver, Purple and Orange have no words that rhyme with them. As soon as you see the word Orange you know that. But if linguistic purists are bothered by the fact that the rhyming dictionaries assert that Quicksilver rhymes with Silver, then we have this lame alternative answer: 

What Silver, Purple and Orange have, but that Gold, Bronze, Violet, Magenta, Red and Yellow do not have, is:

The property of having no consonants in common with the word "Bewitched".

Green is another color with that property.
