Do you prefer red or green apples? Can I borrow your yellow jacket?\u00a0Colors are an important part of our vocabulary. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to know German colors if you want to master the German language.<\/p>\n<p>But what are all the different color words? And how do you actually talk about colors in German? Here\u2019s everything you need to know about German colors.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Say <em>Color <\/em>in German<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics \u2013 how do you actually say \u201ccolor\u201d in German? The answer is: \u201c<strong>die Farbe<\/strong>.\u201d But that\u2019s just if you\u2019re talking about one color. If you want to talk about multiple colors, you would say \u201c<strong>die Farben<\/strong>,\u201d which is the plural form.<\/p>\n<h2>German Colors of the Rainbow<\/h2>\n<p>In German, the rainbow is called \u201c<strong>der Regenbogen<\/strong>.\u201d But what are the colors of the rainbow in German? They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>rot<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 red<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>orange<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 orange<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>gelb<\/b><\/span><\/span> <span lang=\"en-US\">\u2013 yellow<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #92d050;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>gr\u00fcn<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 green<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0432ff;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>blau<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 blue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #5856d6;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>indigo<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 indigo<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #7f00ff;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"><b>violett<\/b><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> \u2013 violet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other German Colors<\/h2>\n<p>There are, of course, many more German colors that you need to know other than the colors of the rainbow. Here are some that might come in handy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>wei\u00df <\/strong>\u2013 white<\/li>\n<li><strong>schwarz <\/strong>\u2013 black<\/li>\n<li><strong>grau <\/strong>\u2013 gray<\/li>\n<li><strong>lila <\/strong>\u2013 purple<\/li>\n<li><strong>rosa <\/strong>\u2013 pink<\/li>\n<li><strong>braun <\/strong>\u2013 brown<\/li>\n<li><strong>silber <\/strong>\u2013 silver<\/li>\n<li><strong>t\u00fcrkis <\/strong>\u2013 turquoise<\/li>\n<li><strong>beige <\/strong>\u2013 beige<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Learning all these new words may seem challenging, but there are ways to make the process more fun.

For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Der Apfel <em>ist<\/em> rot.<\/strong> (The apple is red.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Die B\u00e4ume <em>sind <\/em>gr\u00fcn. <\/strong>(The trees are green.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another important thing to remember is that grammatically, colors are usually adjectives. This means that sometimes, you\u2019ll need to use\u00a0<strong>adjective endings<\/strong>\u00a0when talking about German colors.<\/p>\n<p>German adjectives only take adjective endings if they are\u00a0<strong>attributive &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>meaning if they come <strong>before<\/strong> the noun. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>der rot<em>e <\/em>Apfel <\/strong>(the red apple)<\/li>\n<li><strong>die gr\u00fcn<em>en <\/em>B\u00e4ume <\/strong>(the green trees)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>Adjective endings are a complex topic.

Even adults sometimes use this topic as an icebreaker. But how do you talk about this in German?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to talk about your favorite color:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe? <\/strong>(What\u2019s your favorite color?)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meine Lieblingsfarbe ist blau. <\/strong>(My favorite color is blue.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Describing German Colors<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s not enough to just describe something as \u201cgreen.\u201d Sometimes, we want to specify what type or shade of green we\u2019re talking about. Here are some words that might be useful when describing German colors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>hell <\/strong>\u2013 light<\/li>\n<li><strong>dunkel <\/strong>\u2013 dark<\/li>\n<li><strong>bunt <\/strong>\u2013 colorful<\/li>\n<li><strong>kalt <\/strong>\u2013 cool<\/li>\n<li><strong>warm <\/strong>\u2013 warm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0When you\u2019re talking about light or dark colors in German, it\u2019s important to know that both \u201chell\u201d and \u201cdunkel\u201d become one word with the color you\u2019re describing. For example, \u201clight blue\u201d in German is \u201chellblau,\u201d while \u201cdark blue\u201d is \u201cdunkelblau.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Fun German Colors<\/h2>\n<p>Germans like to have fun when talking about colors. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll sometimes come across some pretty interesting German color words. Here are a couple that might be useful to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>schneewei\u00df <\/strong>\u2013 snow-white, white as snow<\/li>\n<li><strong>perlwei\u00df<\/strong> \u2013 pearl white<\/li>\n<li><strong>weinrot <\/strong>\u2013 wine-red<\/li>\n<li><strong>blutrot <\/strong>\u2013 blood-red, crimson<\/li>\n<li><strong>ziegelrot <\/strong>\u2013 brick-red<\/li>\n<li><strong>himmelblau <\/strong>\u2013 sky blue<\/li>\n<li><strong>k\u00f6nigsblau <\/strong>\u2013 royal blue<\/li>\n<li><strong>gelblich-gr\u00fcn <\/strong>\u2013 yellowish green<\/li>\n<li><strong>waldgr\u00fcn <\/strong>\u2013 forest green<\/li>\n<li><strong>schokoladenbraun<\/strong> \u2013 chocolate-brown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>German Color Idioms<\/h2>\n<p>In English, we often talk about something happening \u201cout of the blue.\u201d Maybe someone wasn\u2019t being careful enough, and they got caught \u201cred-handed.\u201d There are many more color-related idioms in English, such as \u201cgreen with envy\u201d and \u201cthe black sheep.\u201d But do Germans have color idioms, too?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is yes, they do. However, these do not always correspond to the ones you know from English. For example, \u201cout of the blue\u201d is \u201caus heiterem Himmel\u201d in German. This literally means \u201cout of a clear sky\u201d and is, therefore, not a color-related idiom.<\/p>\n<p>Germans have their own color idioms. Here are some of the most common ones that you might come across:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Red<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One common German idiom that features the color red is \u201c<strong>einen roten Faden haben<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto have a red thread.\u201d But what do Germans\u00a0actually\u00a0mean when they use this phrase?<\/p>\n<p>Well, in German, \u201cto have a red thread\u201d means that there is a\u00a0<strong>common thread<\/strong>\u00a0or a\u00a0<strong>central theme<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Yellow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple of German idioms that feature the color yellow. The first one we\u2019re going to look at is \u201c<strong>nicht das Gelbe vom Ei sein<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto not be the yellow (the yolk) of the egg.\u201d However, that\u2019s not what German people mean when they say this. What they\u2019re trying to say is that\u00a0<strong>something is not the best<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you\u2019re not the yolk, that means you\u2019re not exactly brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>The next idiom that features the color yellow is \u201c<strong>gelb vor Neid werden<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto become yellow with envy.\u201d As you may have guessed, this is very similar to a certain popular English idiom \u2013 \u201c<strong>to go green with envy<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Germans say \u201c<strong>gr\u00fcn vor Neid werden<\/strong>,\u201d too. So, you can also become green with envy in German. Both of these idioms mean the same thing, and you can use either one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Green<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One popular German idiom is saying that something is \u201c<strong>dasselbe in Gr\u00fcn<\/strong>.\u201d This means that it\u2019s the same thing in green. When Germans say this, what they\u2019re trying to say is that two things are basically the exact same, even though they might sound or look different.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, \u201cdasselbe in Gr\u00fcn\u201d is the German way to say \u201c<strong>same difference<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another fun German idiom is \u201c<strong>gr\u00fcn hinter den Ohren<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cgreen behind the ears.\u201d You can use this phrase when trying to describe someone who is inexperienced or half-baked.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Blue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Blue is a popular color when it comes to idioms. Out of all the German colors, this one seems to feature in the most color-related phrases. One of these is \u201c<strong>blau sein<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlau sein\u201d literally means \u201cto be blue.\u201d Now, you might think that this refers to someone being unhappy. However, that\u2019s not the case. In German, someone being blue means that they are\u00a0<strong>drunk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In general, blue really seems to be a troublemaking color in German. Other than being blue, you can also \u201cmake blue.\u201d \u201c<strong>Blau machen<\/strong>\u201d means \u201c<strong>to skip school<\/strong>\u201d in German.<\/p>\n<p>Another German idiom related to the color blue is \u201c<strong>das Blaue vom Himmel versprechen<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto promise the blue of the sky.\u201d But what are Germans actually trying to say with this phrase?<\/p>\n<p>If you promise someone the blue of the sky, you\u2019re basically promising them the moon. You are making\u00a0<strong>promises that are impossible<\/strong>\u00a0to fulfill.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Black<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you go to Germany, you might want to avoid \u201c<strong>schwarzfahren<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto travel black.\u201d If you travel black, you\u2019re using public transportation\u00a0<strong>without a valid ticket<\/strong>. That might sound like a good way to save some money, but if you get caught, you\u2019ll have to pay a hefty fine!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing you might want to avoid is \u201c<strong>schwarzarbeiten<\/strong>,\u201d or \u201cworking black.\u201d If you work black, you\u2019re\u00a0<strong>working under the table<\/strong>\u00a0or doing illegal work. That\u2019s another thing that will get you in trouble.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Gray<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many German colors have their own idioms, and gray is no exception. One phrase you might come across is \u201c<strong>alles grau in grau malen<\/strong>.\u201d This literally means \u201cto paint everything gray in gray.\u201d If you\u2019re doing this, then you\u2019re\u00a0<strong>being pessimistic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German Color Idioms: Pink<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, let\u2019s talk about the color pink. This idiom is very similar to its English equivalent. \u201c<strong>Durch eine rosarote Brille sehen<\/strong>\u201d literally means \u201cto see through rosy glasses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In English, we might say \u201c<strong>to see through rose-colored glasses<\/strong>\u201d and not \u201crosy glasses,\u201d but the meaning is basically the same. If you\u2019re doing this, you\u2019re only seeing the pleasant aspects of a situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion: German Colors<\/h2>\n<p>German colors are something that every learner should master. You don\u2019t need to know every single shade and color-related idiom to get by, but it\u2019s good to be aware of these things. That way, when someone calls you the \u201cyellow of the egg,\u201d you\u2019ll know that you\u2019re supposed to thank them. And if you want to check if someone forgot their forest green jumper at your place, you\u2019ll know which specific word to use.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn More<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve come this far and you\u2019d still like to learn more about the German language, why not check out some of our other helpful guides?
