How to Say the Names of the Colors in Four Languages


This post could be subtitled:
"Orange" means Orange

I don't know why Americans, Frenchmen, and Germans can all agree to call orange "orange," but it's interesting nonetheless. I also think it's interesting that in America, the word "purple" usually means purple or violet, but in other countries purple and violet are separate and distinct colors from one another.
