Let's have a ´colorful´ debate ,Spanish learners.
I hope I am not being silly with this, I ran across this a long time ago and sort of forgot it. was chatting on skype with one of our friends and this question appeared again.
So here we have the full spectrum of colors, In English we say "light blue", in Spanish we say " azul claro"
Colors are normally gender masculine.and remain that way regardless of context.
But it seems there are colors that must change gender with context, as well as those that cannot.
Example:
El coche rojo.
La camisa roja.
There seems to exist a rule for this, do you know it?
How many colors do you know that can change gender, and how many cannot.
So lets get colorful. Pick a color an make an example.
A vote for every answer, and most votes gets best answer

Well as far as I know, they all change exept for the ones that end in consonants :

El coche amarillo La camisa amarilla
El coche marrón La camisa marrón
El coche azul La camisa azul
But I'm not exactly sure, wait for the natives :D

Colors, when used as nouns, are masculine. When used as adjectives, some will change their endings based on the gender of the noun they modify, some will not.
Yellow is a good color = Amarillo es un buen color. (color used as a noun)
La camisa amarilla = the yellow shirt (color used as an adjective)

Verde con envida. Green with envy. Tan enojado veo rojo. So angry I see red. Mi ombligo es amarillo porque estoy cobarde . My belly is yellow because I'm a coward. Mi corazon es negro con odio. My heart is black with hate. Tengo un caso de azul. I have a case of the blues. I'm a very colorful person ,no?.

I am a little confused with anaranjado (a ) / naranja. I'm sure there is a simple explanation.
Los zapatos verdes - green shoes
