Colours

This is a typical rainbow. It’s made of different colours: these are the names of the colours in English.
Black   White   Red  Yellow  Blue  Green   Orange   Purple  Brown   Grey  Pink

Colours, like all adjectives, don’t take plurals or gender (feminine or masculine). See these examples:

The Union Jack is red, white and blue.
The German flag is black, red and yellow.
Penguins are black and white.
Aubergines are purple.
Lettuce is green.
Lemons are yellow.
Oranges are orange!


There are different shades of colours, so you can say dark or light to specify.
Now check you know your colours here and try and remember their spelling here
All adjectives, and also colours, go before the noun they modify. Example:
My car is a blue Fiat.    My car is a red Ferrari.   I have a pink house.
Complete these sentences with the right colour
Here you are two videos to practise the colours:
