My progress in learning Spanish (Part 5): Basic colors in Spanish (with video)
Hello friends, welcome to the part five of my Spanish learning progress. Hoy es un día colorido 😀.
Today I'm going to share with you what I've learnt in the past week. I have been learning about the basic colors in spanish.
I have practiced the colors and have learnt to put them in a sentence as suggested to me by a friend @josevas217 who has been teaching me Spanish and that is very effective for me.
Below I'll share with you the basic colors I've learnt in Spanish:
| Los colores | The colors |
|---|---|
| Negro | black |
| Blanco | white |
| Anaranjado | orange |
| Azul | blue |
| Amarillo | yellow |
| Verde | green |
| Rojo | red |
| Gris | gray |
| Marrón | brown |
| Rosado | pink |
| Púrpura | purple |
| Dorado | golden |
| Plateado | silver |
In order to remember the colors, ive learnt the typical things of each of them, that's what they can represent.
Typical things of each color
Negro (black): Noche, carbón, murciélago
Blanco (white): Algodón, papel, azucar
Anaranjado (orange): naranja, zanahoria,
Azul (blue): cielo, oceano
Amarillo (yellow): mantequilla, queso
Verde (green): árbol, grama
Rojo (red): sangre, vino, rosas
Gris (gray): rocas, platas
Marrón (brown): tierra, lodo
Rosado (pink): legua, labios, rosas
Púrpura (purple): cebolla, barenjena
Dorado (golden): zarchillos, oro
Plateado (silver): cuchillería, espiga
I have also learnt to associate those colors in sentences. The video below shows how I do it:
Ps: As I'm still learning, my pronunciation may not be perfect in the video
I also learnt that these colors are adjectives that must agree with the gender and number of the noun.
For example colors that end with A and O must coincide with the noun's gender. Example, negro has four forms it can appear:
- Blanco (masculine and singular): Un vestido blanco
- Blancos (masculine and plural): Unos vestidos blancos
- Blanca (feminine and singular): Una casa blanca
- Blancas (feminine and plural): unas casas blancas.
So it goes with all other colors that ends with A and O. For the other that end with other letters, the don't take uo feminine forms, but they take plural forms and an S or ES is added at the end of their plural forms.
- Verde (singular)
- Verdes (plural)
I'm very happy to have learnt about these colors in this way.
Learning the colors in Spanish helps me to think
and imagine in the language and that is a very effective way to learn.

Hola amiga, muy bien la pronunciacion.
