the color pink

Question

When using the word pink as an adjective, when is it best to use rosa versus rosado?

Also, do both words have masculine and feminine formes (ie. roso or rosada)?

Answer 1

I asked a similar question last year, so I'll pass it on.

rosada/rosado - this one shows agreement rosa is invariable - it won't show agreement

Nouns that are used as adjectives are invariable. In other words, "una rosa" is a flower, violet comes from the name of tree, so "violeta" won't change.

Hope this helps.

Agreement using colors - specifically rosa, naranja, violeta

Search "Agreement using colors" for my old post. I don't know how to link you to it. JulianChivi gave a very complete reply that totally cleared it up for me. - rheit, Aug 22, 2013

I made the link for you. If you send a PM to one of the moderators (not me) they can tell you how to do this. - Jubilado, Aug 22, 2013

Answer 2

Me gusta mucho el vino rosado ( rosé vine) durante el verano.

Answer 3

It will be best to use rosa instead of rosado as an adjective.

No, i don't think it has two forms i.e masculine and feminine. It will be better to use rosa alone. Rojillo can also be used
