List of colors

Gold is a heavy, soft, yellow metal that is easy to work with. It is the softest metal, and is very dense, much denser than lead. Gold is very stable and is used to coat other more reactive metals to protect them, but its primary use is in jewelery. Pure gold is too soft to make jewelery out of, and is usually mixed with silver, copper and other metals.

Green is the colour of the leaves on most plants. The colour green can be made by mixing blue and yellow paint. The frog in the picture is green.

Indigo is a purple-blue color that was originally made from the indigo plant. Many types of jeans are dyed indigo.

Lavender is a small bush with greyish leaves and pale purple flowers. Lavender is also the name for the color of the lavender flowers. Lavender flowers smell very nice and still smell nice when they are dried, so they are often used in potpourri.

Something is monochrome if it is made up of shades of the same color.
