The New English-Polish, Polish-English Kościuszko foundation dictionary > kolo|r
18 Colours

Not all English colour terms have a single exact equivalent in French: for instance, in some circumstances brown is marron, in others brun. If in doubt, look the word up in the dictionary.

Colour terms

what colour is it?

= c’est de quelle couleur? or (more formally) de quelle couleur est-il?

it’s green

= il est vert or elle est verte

to paint sth green

= peindre qch en vert

to dye sth green

= teindre qch en vert

to wear green

= porter du vert

dressed in green

= habillé de vert

Colour nouns are all masculine in French:

I like green

= j’aime le vert

I prefer blue

= je préfère le bleu

red suits her

= le rouge lui va bien

it’s a pretty yellow!

= c’est un joli jaune!

have you got it in white?

= est-ce que vous l’avez en blanc?

a pretty shade of blue

= un joli ton de bleu

it was a dreadful green

= c’était un vert affreux

a range of greens

= une gamme de verts

Most adjectives of colour agree with the noun they modify:

a blue coat

= un manteau bleu

a blue dress

= une robe bleue

blue clothes

= des vêtements bleus

Some that don’t agree are explained below.

Words that are not true adjectives

Some words that translate English adjectives are really nouns in French, and so don’t show agreement:

a brown shoe

= une chaussure marron

orange tablecloths

= des nappes fpl orange

hazel eyes

= des yeux mpl noisette

Other French words like this include: cerise ( cherry-red), chocolat ( chocolate-brown) and émeraude ( emerald-green).

Shades of colour

Expressions like pale blue, dark green or light yellow are also invariable in French and show no agreement:

a pale blue shirt

= une chemise bleu pâle

dark green blankets

= des couvertures fpl vert foncé

a light yellow tie

= une cravate jaune clair

bright yellow socks

= des chaussettes fpl jaune vif

French can also use the colour nouns here: instead of une chemise bleu pâle you could say une chemise d’un bleu pâle ; and similarly des couvertures d’un vert foncé (etc). The nouns in French are normally used to translate English adjectives of this type ending in -er and -est:

a darker blue

= un bleu plus foncé

the dress was a darker blue

= la robe était d’un bleu plus foncé

Similarly:

a lighter blue

= un bleu plus clair (etc.)

In the following examples, blue stands for most basic colour terms:

pale blue

= bleu pâle

light blue

= bleu clair

bright blue

= bleu vif

dark blue

= bleu foncé

deep blue

= bleu profond

strong blue

= bleu soutenu

Other types of compound in French are also invariable, and do not agree with their nouns:

a navy-blue jacket

= une veste bleu marine

These compounds include: bleu ciel ( sky-blue), vert pomme ( apple-green), bleu nuit ( midnight-blue), rouge sang ( blood-red) etc. However, all English compounds do not translate directly into French. If in doubt, check in the dictionary.

French compounds consisting of two colour terms linked with a hyphen are also invariable:

a blue-black material

= une étoffe bleu-noir

a greenish-blue cup

= une tasse bleu-vert

a greeny-yellow dress

= une robe vert-jaune

English uses the ending -ish, or sometimes -y, to show that something is approximately a certain colour, e.g. a reddish hat or a greenish paint. The French equivalent is -âtre:

blue-ish

= bleuâtre

greenish or greeny

= verdâtre

greyish

= grisâtre

reddish

= rougeâtre

yellowish or yellowy

= jaunâtre

etc.

Other similar French words are rosâtre, noirâtre and blanchâtre. Note however that these words are often rather negative in French. It is better not to use them if you want to be complimentary about something. Use instead tirant sur le rouge/jaune etc.

To describe a special colour, English can add -coloured to a noun such as raspberry (framboise) or flesh (chair). Note how this is said in French, where the two-word compound with couleur is invariable, and, unlike English, never has a hyphen:

a chocolate-coloured skirt

= une jupe couleur chocolat

raspberry-coloured fabric

= du tissu couleur framboise

flesh-coloured tights

= un collant couleur chair

Colour verbs

English makes some colour verbs by adding -en (e.g. blacken). Similarly French has some verbs in -ir made from colour terms:

to blacken

= noircir

to redden

= rougir

to whiten

= blanchir

The other French colour terms that behave like this are: bleu (bleuir), jaune (jaunir), rose (rosir) and vert (verdir). It is always safe, however, to use devenir, thus:

to turn purple

= devenir violet

Describing people

Note the use of the definite article in the following:

to have black hair

= avoir les cheveux noirs

to have blue eyes

= avoir les yeux bleus

Note the use of à in the following:

a girl with blue eyes

= une jeune fille aux yeux bleus

the man with black hair

= l’homme aux cheveux noirs

Not all colours have direct equivalents in French. The following words are used for describing the colour of someone’s hair (note that les cheveux is plural in French):

fair

= blond

dark

= brun

blonde or blond

= blond

brown

= châtain inv

red

= roux

black

= noir

grey
