Learning 14 Spanish colours: easy and fast!
Being a bit of a girlie girl… I hadn’t lived in Spain very long before I was buying a new handbag. I suddenly realised that apart from the colours of wine… I didn’t know the colour of such necessities as handbags and shoes! Hope this small learning Spanish colours list is useful for you – even if you’re not out buying shoes and handbags.

Excellent. Just a note: don’t know if this is regional, but I’ve always heard and said ‘lila’ for purple. And ‘de color butano’ for bright orange (the colour of the big gas canisters).
