Hello, everyone! Here's a new colour-based game for you - this is going to be my last one, for the simple reason that I think I've run out of colours! Oh well...

Rules are still the same:

  • Post the name of something in both Spanish and English - it can be anything from a food to an emotion.
  • Pictures are very welcome, as always.
  • You know the last one - have fun!

(PS: your answer can have any number of colours, as long as there's at least two)


¡Hola, todos! Aquí está un juego nuevo basado en el color - esta va a ser mi último uno, ¡por la simple razón que creo que me ha quedado sin colores! Oh, bueno...

Las reglas son todavía el mismo:

  • Publicar el nombre de algo en ambos español y inglés - puede ser cualquier desde una comida a una emoción.
  • Imágenes son muy bienvenidos, como siempre.
  • Ya sabes la última - ¡diviertáse!

(PD: su respuesta puede tener cualquier número de colores, mientras hay por lo menos dos)

Here's your starter for 10 (or 20 if your answer's chosen as the best):

el arco iris = rainbow

I give you Gerald Manley Hopkins: Pied Beauty.

GLORY be to God for dappled things—

For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings; Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

I can't translate this, it would take me days and not be that good. And one can love it without being religious, it's great writing, to my mind.
