Eleven colors, alone or four to a sheet
After your first print, open Spanish colors in bubble letters. The row runs Rojo, Anaranjado, Amarillo, Verde, Azul, Morado, Rosado, Marrón, Negro, Blanco, Gris: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, gray. Three sheets hold all eleven for cutting apart: Rojo / Anaranjado / Amarillo / Verde, Azul / Morado / Rosado / Marrón and Negro / Blanco / Gris.
More words for a color wall
Naranja, Rosa, Café and Violeta are other everyday words for orange, pink, brown and violet. Los / colores, the colors, heads the wall and El / arcoíris, the rainbow, a chart of it. Mi color / favorito means my favorite color.
- Gris prints tallest of the eleven and Anaranjado smallest, at well under half the height, in both fonts.
- Seven of the eleven change for a feminine noun: amarillo becomes amarilla. Verde, Azul, Gris and Marrón stay as they are.
- The Rainbow look fills the letters from red on the left to purple on the right, a fit for El / arcoíris.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Amarillo in bubble letters?
Pencil A-m-a-r-i-l-l-o with wide gaps, since the i and the two l's are three thin strokes side by side. Fatten each into a rounded bar, dot the i, keep a ring in the A, the a and the o, then erase the pencil.
What does amarillo mean in English?
Yellow. It is the everyday Spanish word for the color, said with the double l like an English y in most places. The city of Amarillo, Texas, takes its name from it.
Are colors capitalized in Spanish?
Not in a sentence. Spanish keeps capitals for names and for the first word of a sentence or a title, so a color is written small in running text, and a label that reads Amarillo is right.
Is orange anaranjado or naranja in Spanish?
Both. Naranja is the fruit and also the color, and anaranjado is built from it. In the same way pink is rosado or rosa, and brown is marrón or café.
