Colours and gender

Colours are adjectives. Colours are usually used to describe the physical characteristics of a noun. In Spanish adjectives have to agree to the gender of the noun that they are describing. Most colours in Spanish take the same masculine and feminine forms but not all. The following colours take different masculine and feminine endings.

colour	masculine	Spanish	English	feminine	Spanish	English
red	rojo	el libro rojo	the red book	roja	la casa roja	the red house
white	blanco	el techo blanco	the white roof	blanca	la puerta blanca	the white door
black	negro	el gato negro	the black cat	negra	la mesa negra	the black table
dark	oscuro	el cielo oscuro	the dark sky	oscura	la noche oscura	the dark night
light	luminoso	el color luminoso	the light colour	luminosa	la camisa roja luminsoa	the light red shirt
pale	pálido	tu rostro pálido	your pale face	pálida	tu cara pálida	your pale face

Colours and numbers

All colours in Spanish have to agree with the number of the nouns that they are describing; whether they are singular or plural. Forming plural adjectives depends on the ending of the adjective. Most that end in a vowel are made plural by adding s and most that end in consonant are made plural by adding es.

Las faldas rojas y el gorro amarillo.	The red dresses and the yellow cap.
El piso azul ligero y las paredes oscuros	The light blue floor and the dark walls.
Los arboles verdes y las flores blancas	The green trees and the white flowers.
