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.
