Lesson 30 – Color
Today you’re going to expand your vocabulary by learning various collocations about colors.
You can describe a color as
light or
dark – for example, someone can have
light brown or
dark brown
hair. If a color is very intense, you can describe it as
bright – for example, a
bright red apple.
If the color
is not very intense, you can describe it as
pale – for example, a
pale green dress.
When describing colors in general, you can talk about
bold/vivid colors – which are very intense – or
pastel colors, which are light or pale.
We can use other words to describe specific
shades of a color (variations of a specific color). These
words are usually a typical object with that particular color. For example, “sky blue” is a light shade of
blue, like the color of the sky. Here are some of the most common collocations:
