English to Spanish Colors
As you'll see below, this page is a little different than the other vocabulary pages on the site. Instead of just being textual, this page provides a list of English to Spanish colors presented along side a block of color to help you visually remember the various color meanings.
Below the main list of colors, there is also a list of color-related words translated from English to Spanish, including the translations for words like light and dark, opaque and transparent, and warm and cold colors. Below this you'll also find a series of three videos where you can continue your learning of the Spanish colors by listening to color pronunciations.
