Explanation

Colour is what we see when light reflects off objects, like red, blue, green, or yellow. It makes the world bright and interesting. For example, the sky is blue, grass is green, and bananas are yellow. It can also mean to paint something, like “she coloured the picture”. Colours can also represent feelings: red can mean love/passion/romance (a red rose for love) or anger or danger (a red face from shouting), and blue can mean peace/trust/relaxation (a calm blue sky) or sadness (feeling blue after bad news).

👉 “Colour,” is British spelling, while American spelling is “color.”
