Why do all the parts get removed in my script when I want specific ones to stay?

Hi! I'm pretty new to scripting and I'm wondering what's wrong with my script and why it removes all the parts instead of all the parts apart from the colour selected. (hope that makes sense)

Here's my script:

01while #game.Players:GetPlayers() < 1 do
02 
03    --      S E I
04    for i = 1, 10, 1 do
05 
06        while #game.Players:GetPlayers() < 1 do
07 
08 
09        local colours = {"Red","Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Dark Blue", "Light Blue", "Pink", "Purple"}
10        local randomColour = math.random(1,8)
11        local Parts = game.Workspace.GameParts:GetChildren()
12 
13        print("Get ready!")
14 
15        wait(5)
16 
17        print ("Selecting safe part...")
18 
19        wait(2)
20 
21        local chosenColour = (colours[randomColour])
22        print(colours[randomColour])
23 
24        for _, v in pairs(Parts) do
25            if v:IsA("Part") and v.Name == chosenColour then
26                v.Parent = game.Workspace.GameParts.safeParts 
27                print("Part moved")
28            elseif v:IsA("Part") then  
29                print("Removing parts.")
30                v.Transparancy = 1
31                v.CanCollide = false
32            end
33        end
34 
35        wait(5)
36 
37        print("Parts removed.")
38 
39        wait(4)
40 
41        --Making the parts visible + can collide
42        for i,v in pairs(workspace.GameParts.unsafeParts:GetChildren()) do
43            v.Transparency = 0
44            v.CanCollide = true
45        end
46 
47        colours[randomColour].Parent = game.Workspace.GameParts.unsafeParts
48 
49    end
50 
51    print("Game Over! A new round will be starting soon.")
52 
53    end

Your problem may be you aren't naming the parts correctly

01while #game.Players:GetPlayers() < 1 do

09        local colours = {"Red","Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Dark Blue", "Light Blue", "Pink", "Purple"}
10        local randomColour = math.random(1,#colours)
11        local Parts = game.Workspace.GameParts:GetChildren()
12 
13        print("Get ready!")

15        wait(5)

See line 30, Transparency spelled wrong

See line 10, doing #Table gets the size of the table, is more efficient
