Colours and Gender
 
Colours are adjectives. Colours are usually used to describe the physical characteristics of a noun. In Spanish adjectives have to agree to the gender of the noun that they are describing. Most colours in Spanish take the same masculine and feminine forms but not all. The following colours take different masculine and feminine endings.

Colours and Numbers
 
All colours in Spanish have to agree with the number of the nouns that they are describing; whether they are singular or plural. Forming plural adjectives depends on the ending of the adjective. Most that end in a vowel are made plural by adding s and most that end in consonant are made plural by adding es.
 
Las faldas rojas y el gorro amarillo. The red dresses and the yellow cap.
El piso azul ligero y las paredes oscuras The light blue floor and the dark walls.
Los arboles verdes y las flores blancas The green trees and the white flowers.
