Singular and Plural with colors

Much like with the gender forms of colors. In Spanish the singular and plural forms also change according to the nouns they modify.

For example:

The black cats = los gatos negros

The white dogs = los perros blancos

In most cases you would just add an s onto the end of the color to pluralize it. Also, if the noun is feminine, you would also drop the -o at the end and add an -as to the word.

The black skies = los cielos blancos

The orange houses = las casas anaranjadas

In other cases, such as when an adjective ends in -e, you would just add -s for plural. If it ends in a consonant, then add -es.

For example:

verde = verdes

azul = azules

gris = grises

marrón = marrónes

Exceptions to the rule:

Beige and rosa do not change at all when pluralized
