White: *Blanco* and *Albo* (like Romanian. However, this one is used only in poetry. Other more used words in Spanish come from the Latin "Albus" though, like "Alba", "Alborada" and "Albino"). Red: *Rojo, Bermellón, Carmesí, Carmín, Escarlata* (however, these last four are used for different tones of red, thus they are less used). Purple: *Púrpura, Morado* ("color of the blackberry"), *Violeta* (although this one express more of a bluish purple), *Lila* (a pastel purple). Brown: *Marrón* (used mainly in Spain, Perú, Argentina and Uruguay), *Castaño* (used mainly for eyes and hair of said color), *Café* (like Greek and other geografically close languages, this one is mainly used in great part of Hispanoamérica, especially in countries where coffee is either produced even for export or consumed regularly), and even *Chocolate, Pardo* and *Carmelita,* but these last 3 are less used.

​@@DikWhiteIn German we say lila, pronounced as "lee-luh", I don't like the word lilac, because of the c at the end and generally the pronounciation. We also say Violett (Vee-oh-létt) and Purpur (Pu-ah- Pu-ah) *the ah are like british R's. We Germans pronounce the Rs exactly like the British, but only the Rs that are in the middle or at the end of a word.😊

Russians don't say "brown hair." The man with brown hair, in Russian "shaten"( шатен - in Cyrillic).

Spanish has different words for the purple color: Purpura, Violeta, Morado, all or them are of common use

Why Turkey is still colored differently even in Grey despite it uses the same word gri like French and other western countries?

0:37 Green "Jeshile" in Kosovo most likely has the same root as "Yeşil" in Turkish and therefore must be the same color on the map. It is a word of Turkic origin. 4:24 Grey Turkish borrowed the color name "Gri" directly from French. Therefore, the colors of France and Turkey should be the same on the map.

Jeshile is not a standart word in Albanian for green,in Albanian would be gjelbër or blertë. And another word for grey in Albanian is e hirtë,for blue is e kaltër (blumë doesn't exist,blu yes).

and then there are dialects. In the Flemish village were I was born, we say "green" like in English, in a neighboring village they say "grün" like in German and in a nearby city "groen" like in Standard Dutch. And in Flanders nobody says "paars", but "purper"

2:09 Green, orange, blue, red and maybe Turkish and Polish are the same here

I am not an etymologist but I think Hungarian "zöld" has an etymological link with Slavic "зелёный/zelyony (green)" and "жёлтый/jyolty (yellow)".

You're right

I found out that in Kurdish we say shin to blue = Slavic, zerd to yellow= Slavic, spi to white= Greek, narinji to orange= latin, kask to green= Irish ,bor to brown= everyone, sor to red= related to latin, mor to violet= Balkans.

Plava is blue in Serbian???

Galician: rojo,roxo, encarnado, vermello.verde.azul.amarillo,amarelo.naranja, naranxa, laranxa. rosa. púrpura, Violeta. Marrón (oscuro/dark), castaño(medio-claro/medium-fair), gris, grisáceo, cinza.blanco, branco.negro, oscuro.

2:45 English wanted to feel special.

Purple in spanish is: Morado, violeta, or lila, púrpura is a tone of morado

Purple is actually "Purppura" in Finnish as well. Violet is "Violetti" in Finnish. They are two different colors.

In ukrainian orange colour is also pomaranchovyi, same as in polish language, but not oranzhevy

​@@alexandervanhove7327 "niebieski" is general and main word for "blue", "siny" is more like "pale", very light blue, so light that is almost white, it usually reffers to a skin colour when you got so cold, the blue vains are visible. It is not a synonim at all.

While everyone agreed to call the color pink "rosa" or "roz," England opted for the Latin term "pink."

In spanish we use more "morado" (blackberry-like) rather than "púrpura"

The problem with this video is that it doesn't really reflect the linguistic origin of the terms, but the semantic ones, at least in most cases. In Italian many terms for colors are derived from flowers (viola, rosa, lillà, ciclamino), fruits (arancione, moro), seeds (castano, marrone), stones (azzurro, opalino), and so on. They are in common only with the countries that have the same origin for the term. There are also many terms from Latin, some in common with other languages, which are limited to some very specific uses, for example synonyms for white such as "albo" or "glauco" (the latter being used also as the male counterpart of the female name Bianca), for yellow such as "luteo", for red such as "vermiglio", and so on.

Yellow in bulgarian is wrong in this video. It is жълт ( zhuLt)

In portuguese we have the word gris to describe a blueish - grey colour

In French, pourpre exists as well (similar to spanish purpura).

Ireland apparently does its own thing. Cool.

orange: in ukrainian orange is помаранчевий (pomaranchevyy)

"Orange" - most of Europe should have the same colour as all those words containt the world "orange" "aranj/c/dż". It's just another unprofessional video on KZread full of errors. That's it.

2:08 Belarus should be green as well

In ukrainian language colour orange will be: pomaranczevyi. We don't have a word orangevyi, please check before posting

in russian Purple -purpurny, lilovy, fioletovy Grey - sery, sivy(sizy) Orange - oranževy, ryžy

on the blue part you put the name of green on austria

Polish name for orange is pomarańczowy which comes from "pomo arancia". So the same etymology as others

In greek there is no word "mple", μπλε is pronounced "ble"

esta mal, el Lila es Lila en español, y el púrpura es otro color, como el violeta y el morado, se parecen, pero son tonos diferentes. Asi que me atrevería a decir que con Francia también sucede el mismo error
