Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following English colors is the only one that means roughly the same as the Spanish word "azul"?

Answer: cyan

Cyan is a bright shade of blue, and the word "azul" means blue in Spanish. I've seen some cars painted cyan in the past, and they look very sporty!

2. Which of the following English words for colors is the only one roughly synonymous to the Spanish word "verde"?

Answer: chartreuse

Chartreuse is a yellowish shade of green, and "verde" means green in Spanish. I've always thought of lizards I've seen in Florida when I think of the color chartreuse.

3. Which of the following colors in English express the same color as the Spanish word "marron"?

Answer: brown

Even though the word in Spanish looks like "maroon", which is a shade of purple, kind of burgundy or wine-colored, the word "marron" actually means "brown". It is one of those false cognates or false friends in Spanish!

4. Which of the following English words for colors matches the Spanish word "anaranjado"?

Answer: orange

The word "anaranjado" in Spanish translates literally into the color for the "orange" (fruit). And oranges certainly are orange!

5. Which of the following English colors corresponds best to the Spanish word "gris"?

Answer: gray

The word "gris" in Spanish means gray. When someone's hair is gray, though, they don't use that word to describe it. They say "canoso", which is kind of like "salt and pepper".

6. Which of the following words in English for colors is the best match to the Spanish word "purpura"?

Answer: violet

Violet is the shade of purple of the tiny flowers, and this can also be called "violeta" in Spanish. The word "purpura" literally means "purple".

7. Which of the following English colors is closest to the Spanish word "rosado"?

Answer: pink

Another English word for "pink" is "rose", which looks like the Spanish word "rosado". It can be used for any shade of pink, from the lightest to the darkest.

8. Which of the following English colors is the best match for the Spanish word "plateado"?

Answer: silver

The word for "silver" in Spanish is "plata", so "plateado" means "silver-colored". Rio de la Plata in Argentina got its name because the water shimmered so much, it looked like silver.

9. Which of the following shades in English is closest to the Spanish word "turquesa"?

Answer: turquoise

The words in English and Spanish look a lot alike. It is probably because they are both derived from the French word for the same color. I love the stone turquoise, which looks beautiful in silver jewellery.

10. Which of the following English colors is the closest match to the Spanish word "blanco"?

Answer: white

Even though "blanco" looks like the word "black", it actually means "white". It is similar to the word "blanche" for going pale with fright.
