Bloody punctuation and spelling combinations.
One apostrophe, plus the question mark that is clued.

[11] I disagree....in the classic question, you may be right... but the many, many, alternate answers the third color is definitely used. (but not here)

[14] In the classic riddle, the "problem" is the misinterpretation of the homonym, and the puzzle uses the "correct" interpretation.
As you say, there are many alternate answers that take the original and answer it.

[7] I may be wrong, but I recall a previous OWW with the answer.

The reason this puzzle proves confusing is that the classic "joke" is dependent upon it being SPOKEN rather than WRITTEN. The play on words has to do entirely with how the words sound and all is lost when it is written down. So, in addition to the various punctuation options, the spelling of that particular word complicates adds one more variable.

A newspaper would be the standard answer; sorry didn't think much of this one. Not because it isn't clever, but because of the fiddly-ness in the spelling and punctuation. Should have targeted the riddle's answer.

Good idea, but frustrating with the spelling.
