The following vocabulary list contains a number of French adjectives for colors. As adjectives, when they are used with a noun, they must agree in number and in gender. The masculine form of the adjective can also be used with an article to represent the color as a noun; for the most part, however, you will most often use these colors as adjectives to modify and describe nouns. See Chapter 10 for more on adjectives.

To form the plural for most of these adjectives, simply add an “s” to the end of the word, with the following exceptions:

• Marron and orange do not change in the plural; simply use the singular form of the word.

• The masculine plural form of grey still uses the word gris; because it already ends in an “s,” so you don't add one.
