Mandarin Learning Basic

After told some festival in China, we continue our tutorial for our mandarin. Now I will tell about the colors. See the sample below (the chinese character, the pronounce, and the meaning):
深蓝色 ‘shen(1) lan(2) se(4)’ means ‘navy blue’
橙色 ‘cheng(2) se(4)’ means ‘orange’
粉红色 ‘fen(3) hong(2) se(4)’ means ‘pink’
紫色 ‘zi(3) se(4)’ means ‘purple’
红色 ‘hong(2) se(4)’ means ‘red’
银色 ‘ying(2) se(4)’ means ‘silver’
天蓝色 ‘tian(1) lan(2) se(4)’ means ‘sky blue’
棕色 ‘zong(1) se(4)’ means ‘tan’
透明色 ‘tou(4) ming(2) se(4)’ means ‘transparent, clear’
白色 ‘bai(2) se(4)’ means ‘white’
黄色 ‘huang(2) se(4)’ means ‘yellow’
米色 ‘mi(3) se(4)’ means ‘beige’
蓝色 ‘lan(2) se(4)’ means ‘blue’
咖啡色 ‘ka(1) fei(1) se(4)’ means ‘brown’
深色 ‘shen(1) se(4)’ means ‘dark color’
金色 ‘jing(1) se(4) means ‘gold’

灰色 ‘hui(1) se(4) means ‘silver’
黑色 ‘hei(1) se(4) means ‘black’

This is most colors we use to represent the color we see, so if we meet the question like:
这是什么颜色? pronounced ‘zhe(4) shi(4) shen(3) me(4) yan(2) se(4)?’ or in English ‘What is this color?’
We can use one of the color above to answer it….see you at our next article.
