In Hindi, colours are often used as adjectives and must agree with the noun’s gender in formal grammar, although in everyday speech, people often use the base colour form. For example, “लाल रंग” (laal rang) means “red colour.” When speaking casually, simply saying “लाल” (laal) is usually enough.
Practising colours in everyday contexts — like clothing, weather, or food — will help you remember them more naturally. Try describing what you see around you using your new vocabulary!
