Re:Names of colors
Finnish color names:
red = punainen
green = vihreä
blue = sininen
yellow = keltainen
violet = violetti
purple = purppura
orange = punakeltainen (also "oranssi")
light green = vaaleanvihreä
dark green = tummanvihreä
sky blue = taivaansininen
brown = ruskea
black = musta
grey = harmaa
white = valkoinen
Some of the color names end with "-nen".
These are typically derived from a noun,
as "punainen" coming from "puna"
("redness").
Light and dark shades are formed with
prefixes "vaalean-" and "tumman-".
The list does not contain "pink", as
the various shades of pink have each its
own name in Finnish. The word
"vaaleanpunainen" means a mixture of
white and red without any blue or yellow
in it.
We do not have many color names special
to our language. The exact color names
like "navy blue", "turquoise", or
"emerald green" are called by direct
translations as "laivastonsininen",
"turkoosi", and "smaragdinvihreä".

Re:Names of colors
The names of some colours in German:
colour -> Farbe
red -> rot
yellow -> gelb
blue -> blau
green -> grün
orange -> orange
violet -> violett
turquoise -> türkis
brown -> braun
grey -> grau
white -> weiß
black -> schwarz
The words for light or dark colours are formed by using "hell" or "dunkel" as prefixes, e.g.:
dark green -> dunkelgrün
light green -> hellgrün
