Hm, but if we don’t know anything about the possible colours, the natural prior to assume seems to me to give all colors the same likelihood. It seems arbitrary to decide to group a subsection of colors under the label “other”, and pretend like it should be treated like a hypothesis on equal footing with the others in your given set, which are single colors.

Yeah, Jeffreys prior seems to make sense here.
