20 Les couleurs

Attention: certains noms et adjectifs de couleurs français ont plusieurs traductions possibles. Par ex., brun peut être brown, dark, black etc. Consulter les articles dans le dictionnaire.

La couleur des choses

Dans les expressions suivantes, vert est pris comme exemple; les autres adjectifs et noms de couleurs s’utilisent de la même façon.

Les adjectifs

de quelle couleur est-il?

= what colour is it?

il est vert

= it’s green

une robe verte

= a green dress

Les noms

En anglais, les noms de couleurs n’ont en général pas d’article défini.

j’aime le vert

= I like green

je préfère le vert

= I prefer green

le vert me va bien

= green suits me

porter du vert

= to wear green

une gamme de verts

= a range of greens

le même vert

= the same green

en vert

= in green

je t’aime bien en vert

= I like you in green

s’habiller en vert

= to dress in green

habillé de vert

= dressed in green

avez-vous le même modèle en vert?

= have you got the same thing in green?

Avec les verbes to paint (peindre) et to dye (teindre), le en français n’est pas traduit:

peindre la porte en vert

= to paint the door green

teindre un chemisier en vert

= to dye a blouse green

Les nuances

très vert

= very green

vert foncé

= dark green

vert clair

= light green

vert vif

= bright green

vert pâle

= pale green

vert pastel

= pastel green

vert profond

= deep green

vert soutenu

= strong green

un chapeau vert foncé

= a dark green hat

une robe vert clair

= a light green dress

un vert plus foncé

= a darker green

la robe était d’un vert plus foncé

= the dress was a darker green

un joli vert

= a pretty green

un vert affreux

= a dreadful green

sa robe est d’un joli vert

= her dress is a pretty green

Noter l’absence d’équivalent du de français.

En anglais comme en français, on peut exprimer une nuance en utilisant le nom d’une chose dont la couleur est typique. Noter que l’adjectif prend un trait d’union (sky-blue), mais pas le nom (sky blue).

bleu ciel

= sky blue

une robe bleu ciel

= a sky-blue dress

vert tilleul

= sage green

vert pomme

= apple green

une veste vert pomme

= an apple-green jacket

De même, navy-blue ( bleu marine), midnight-blue ( bleu nuit), blood-red (rouge sang) etc. En cas de doute, consulter le dictionnaire. En ajoutant -coloured ( GB) ou -colored (US) à un nom, on obtient un adjectif composé qui correspond au français avec couleur.

une robe couleur framboise

= a raspberry-coloured dress (GB) ou a raspberry-colored dress ( US)

des collants couleur chair

= flesh-coloured tights ( GB)

un papier peint couleur crème

= cream-coloured wallpaper (GB)

Noter enfin:

bleu-noir

= blue-black

verdâtre

= greenish

un jaune verdâtre

= a greenish yellow

Attention: ces adjectifs n’existent pas pour toutes les couleurs. En cas de doute, consulter le dictionnaire. On peut toujours utiliser shade, comme on utilise ton ou nuance en français.

un joli ton de vert

= a pretty shade of green

Les gens ⇒ Le corps humain

L’anglais n’utilise pas d’article défini dans les expressions suivantes:

avoir les cheveux blonds

= to have fair hair

avoir les yeux bleus

= to have blue eyes

Noter les adjectifs composés anglais:

un blond

= a fair-haired man

une brune

= a dark-haired woman

un enfant aux yeux bleus

= a blue-eyed child

Mais on peut aussi dire: a man with fair hair, a child with blue eyes etc.

La couleur des cheveux

Les adjectifs des deux langues ne sont pas exactement équivalents, mais les correspondances suivantes sont utiles. Noter que hair est toujours au singulier.

les cheveux noirs

= black hair

les cheveux bruns

= dark hair

les cheveux châtains

= brown hair

les cheveux blonds

= fair hair (ou blond(e): voir le mot français blond dans le dictionnaire)

les cheveux roux

= red hair

les cheveux gris

= grey (GB) ou gray (US) hair

les cheveux blancs

= white hair

La couleur des yeux

les yeux bleus

= blue eyes

les yeux bleu clair

= light blue eyes

les yeux gris

= grey (GB) ou gray (US) eyes

les yeux verts

= green eyes

les yeux gris-vert

= greyish green ( GB) ou grayish green (US) eyes (grey-green et gray-green sont aussi possibles)

les yeux marron

= brown eyes

les yeux marron clair

= light brown eyes

les yeux noisette

= hazel eyes

les yeux clairs

= light-coloured (GB) ou light-colored (US) eyes

les yeux noirs

= dark eyes
