Word order with colours

There are three ways that you can use a colour in a sentence to describe something:
1. To Be + Colour. e.g. My car is blue.
2. Colour + Noun. e.g. The blue car is mine.
3. Colour is the Noun. e.g. Blue is the colour of my car.
Did you know that, because colours give us more information about a person or a thing, they are adjectives in English?


Light - Dark - Bright

You can also talk in shades (or intensity) of colour in English by using such expressions as:
Light is the opposite of Dark.


 
Bright: a strong colour that is easy to see.
  • Helen has dark green eyes.
  • His light grey hair made him look very distinguished.
  • Her bright pink lipstick doesn't look good.
The words Light, Dark and Bright are placed before the colour.


Colours + ISH

If you are not exactly sure how to describe a colour, we normally use the suffix -ish.
e.g. Greenish (= approximately green but not exactly green)
  • The sunset is a beautiful pinkish-purplish colour today.
  • His shirt is lightish blue in colour.
