Yiuel Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 CuruYou forgot :brun - bruneAnd be careful about plurals, some colors cannot be pluralized as :orange (you will not see : **des voitures oranges, it will be "des voitures orange")marron(and almost everything that doesn't refer to the color itself)We also use a lot of colors that refers to the object, and if we want to make clear it's the color we think, we use "couleur" :La voiture couleur nuageL'ordinateur couleur pommeLa boîte couleur peauLes chevaux couleur nuit(and you can be quite poetic if you want, as with couleur nuit (color of night)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
