Fill in the blanks with words for colors

Question

Fill in the blanks with words for colors based on the cues.

1. ¿De qué color son las nubes (clouds) cuando está nublado? Cuando está nublado las nubes son ______ gris

2. ¿De qué color son los bluejeans? Los bluejeans son _____ azul

The words in bold were my answers. The program said that my answers were wrong, but Im confused as why. Could someone explain as why I am wrong? Which color should I use instead??

I have also tried gris oscuro and azul oscuro

Corcubion tiene razón. Corcubion is right. If the noun is plural the adjective must be plural. - Jubilado, Mar 24, 2013

Answer 1

I think the mistake is not using the plural. Colour Nube= gris, Colour Nubes = grises. Colour bluejean / pantalón azul (vaqueros, tejanos). Bluejeans colourr = pantalones azules. Gris y Azul in that sentence should be plural.

Your answer and examples were incomprehensible to me, so i took a chance and used grises and azules. Anyways, my book mentioned plural for every color EXCEPT for gray and blue, smh. Thanks so much!! - sam30317, Mar 25, 2013

Answer 2

Maybe they wanted the clouds to be white?

Idk if you get a notification for what other people say on the same question, but the correct answer was azules and grises. Thanks so much for the help anyways!! - sam30317, Mar 25, 2013

Answer 3

Sometimes gray can be cano/a or canoso (hair color)

Denim can sometimes be tejano... but I don't know if that is a color or just the description.
