All Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine. There is no neuter gender anywhere in the language. When you are describing anything by color, you have to use a corresponding adjective - if the noun is masculine, the adjective of color has to be masculine. If the noun is feminine, the adjective of color has to be feminine. And you have to keep up with singular and plural, too.

It sounds like a lot to remember, but with practice it gets easier and easier.

The four columns below provide the masculine singular form, the feminine singular form, the masculine plural (or mixed gender grouping) form, and the plural feminine form. Note that some colors have only one form for both masculine and feminine singular.

The masculine plural form is always used with "groups" of mixed gender objects - regardless of if there is only one masculine object and any quantity of feminine objects in the group.
