Hello everyone :) أهلا وسهلا
This is a quick lesson about the colors in Arabic. I'll try to make as simple as I can so you can learn the basic colors. There can be some different forms of plural but for the sake of simplicity, you can use the feminine form (المؤنث) with plural. Note that this is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) also know as formal Arabic or Fus-ha الفصحى.
