Color words are adjectives. When you use a color word in front of a noun to describe the noun’s color, you are using an adjective. Look at these sentence examples:
My dad bought a red truck.
I have brown hair.
Sally likes the pink dress.
That black cat lives next door.
In sentences that use a linking verb, the adjective is separated from the noun. Look at these examples:
My dad’s truck is red.
My hair is brown.
The dress Sally likes is pink.
The cat that lives next door is black.
Color words are adjectives. Use color words to modify nouns.
