Color
Words
by Leon

Dear Leon's EFL Planet Visitors,
Some of my students/acquaintances in Korea have
had the erroneous notion that English doesn't have very many color words.
In fact, it has thousands of color words.
I minored in art in my
university. And as most artists and designers can tell you, there are thousands of
color words in English. Here, I will teach you some of the most common
color words in English.
