Literally, &#8220;the car blue.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<h3>Watch out for number and gender<\/h3>\n<p>When using the color words as adjectives, <strong>you must make the colors agree with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/spanish\/blog\/plural-in-spanish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">number<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/spanish\/blog\/spanish-gender-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gender<\/a> of the noun. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example,\u00a0<em><strong>el<\/strong> sof\u00e1<\/em> (the sofa) is a singular, masculine noun. <em><strong>Las<\/strong> actrices<\/em> (the actresses) is a plural, feminine noun.<\/p>\n<p>As with all Spanish adjectives, you must ensure that the color words agree with the noun they describe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>Los ojos azul<strong>es.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(The blue eyes.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>Las casas blanc<strong>as. <\/strong><\/em>(The white houses.)<\/p>\n<h3>A color that doesn&#8217;t end in <em>o\u00a0<\/em>won&#8217;t change its spelling<\/h3>\n<p>Gender change rules don&#8217;t always apply, as any color that doesn\u2019t end in an <em>o<\/em> won\u2019t change its spelling.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>verde<\/em> (green),<em> azul<\/em> (blue) and <em>rosa<\/em> (pink).<\/p>\n<h3>You usually use <em>ser <\/em>with colors<\/h3>\n<p>When describing what color something is, such as in a sentence like &#8220;The phone is black,&#8221; you almost always use the verb <em>ser<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>El tel\u00e9fono <strong>es<\/strong> negro<\/em>. (The phone is black.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Las botellas <strong>son<\/strong> amarillas<\/em>. (The bottles are yellow.)<\/p>\n<p>The verb <em>estar<\/em> (to be) generally refers to temporary states of being. There are rare cases in which you might need to use <em>estar<\/em> to describe the color of something.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: If you wanted to say that today the sky is gray because of an impending rainstorm, you could use the verb <em>estar\u00a0<\/em>(since it&#8217;s normally blue):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>El cielo <strong>est\u00e1 <\/strong>gris. <\/em>(The sky is gray.)<\/p>\n<h3>Use <em>&#8220;de color&#8221;<\/em> to simplify things<\/h3>\n<p>Another way to describe color in Spanish is to say that something is <em>de color&#8230;<\/em> (the color&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>With this construction, you\u2019ll always use the masculine, singular version of the color\u2014regardless of the noun!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>Las camisetas son <strong>de color rosa<\/strong><\/em>. (The shirts are the color pink.)<\/p>\n<h3>Colors don&#8217;t change gender in the noun + color + adjective\/noun formula<\/h3>\n<p>When you combine <strong>noun + color + adjective\/noun<\/strong>, the color and adjective\/noun don&#8217;t change genders.<\/p>\n<p>This means that no matter what gender or number the main noun is, <strong>the color and the adjective\/noun will remain in the masculine singular form.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>El libro azul<strong> oscuro.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(The dark blue book.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>La camisa azul<strong> oscuro.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(The dark blue shirt.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>Los libros azul<strong> oscuro. <\/strong><\/em>(The dark blue books.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>Las camisas azul<strong> oscuro.<\/strong><\/em> (The dark blue shirts.)<\/p>\n<h3>Colors can be nouns<\/h3>\n<p>Colors can also act as nouns, not just adjectives.<\/p>\n<p>When a color functions as a noun, it will always be <strong>masculine<\/strong>, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em><strong>El rosa<\/strong> es mi color favorito.\u00a0<\/em>(Pink is my favorite color.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em><strong>Los naranjas<\/strong> te quedan muy bien.\u00a0<\/em>(Orange colors suits you very well.)<\/p>\n<h2>Colors in Spanish Practice Quiz<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/site\/\/2\/paint-brushes-inside-clear-plastic-cups.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-68118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/site\/\/2\/paint-brushes-inside-clear-plastic-cups.jpg\" alt=\"paint-brushes-inside-clear-plastic-cups\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now that you know the most important colors in Spanish, it&#8217;s time to practice them!
