NOTES:

Colors have different shades, for example:

Dark green
Light green
Bright green

If you are not exactly sure about what color is the one you are describing, you can use the suffix "ish", for example:

Reddish
Purplish

You can also combine two colors and say for example:

Reddish orange
Greenish blue

If you add the letter “y” at the end of the word, it means it is part of the color, for example:

Greeny brown that is the same as saying: Greenish brown

You should know there is a difference between saying "pinky red" and "redy pink", the first color mentioned is always stronger or more important. So if you say redy pink, the color is more red than pink.
