Let us take this one by one. One color can pair with three colors.

Green = Maroon, Blue, Wheat = GM, GB, GW

Maroon = Green, Blue, Wheat = MG, MB, MW

Blue = Green, Maroon, Wheat = BG, BM, BW

Wheat = Green, Maroon, Blue = WG, WM, WB

So the combinations are:

GM, GB, GW, MG, MB, MW, BG, BM, BW, WG, WM, WB

Which is letter B.
