? You already know your basic colors in English, now let’s take them to the next level! Today, you’ll learn the shades of colors. I’ll explain them and you’ll get to see them on screen.

Listen carefully and you’ll ace the quiz! What’s your favorite color? Tell me in the comments, and don’t just say black

Great Lesson, Ronnie! I think my favorite colors are crimson red, sky blue and plum. I can’t choose only one.
Thank You, Ronnie, Because we have variety of color with different name and remembering them is not so easy, IF I want to buy a color, I prefer to use color code instead of the name. Do you know the “Kelly” color will be number 335 in Panton?
it’s wealth of imformations lesson about colours but let me say: it’s really diffuclt to distinguish between all these colors, i am happy to be the first one. thank you ronnie.

Thank you,Ronnie.
There are lots of colors here.
I have a problem which is about pronouncing with ‘ll.
For example,I’ll,He’ll,You’ll,etc.
I can’t pronounce them correctly.
I come from Taiwan.
I speak Chinese.
I think it’s hard for me and other Chineses,too.
That’s a good idea for a lesson! I’ve added it to the list of requests.
thank you for the lesson , i have one question please , what is the meaning of the word ” hue ” because it is used sometimes when talking about colors , does it have the same meaning as ” shades ” ?
I learned more knowledge that I didn’t know in the past. It’s amazing

It was a good explanation about Nine different type of colours, I think the Seven colours of the rainbow plus white and black. I have understood many expressions but I have had to search some of them in the dictionary and I almost remember the favourite Ronnie’s colour but I failed at the end, it was indigo, the blue one from the rainbow, what’s a pity. Anyhow, I have to be grateful by teacher Ronnie’s lesson. Thanks a lot.
Thanks!!!!
I am tired because this is too much .. I can not rememper all of these
:(

Jokes apart, nice lesson as usual, thank you so much Ronnie!!
Thank you!!
It’s really helpful.
Thank you very much Ronnie.
This is awesome! As usual!
Now I feel lack of slang lessons. It’s very funny to talk about rude crazy slang things in English but it’s difficult when you’re live in non-English speaking country. Really need some. Thank you.
How I can learn English well soon, can you help me please please please
Ronnie you’re a good teacher,you know how explain the class to the student..
As it happens I got ten out of ten but I even don´t remermber any color you mentioned. Thank you teacher
My fave color is rose. I can’t see the differences between those shades of white :(
Anyway, please subscribe to my youtube channel (Astri Dwidiyanti)! :)
I didn’t get you because I’m colorblind.
I’m lying, of course; I found this video particularly interesting, with a lot of new stuff to learn.
By the way, I learnt that that the italian word “daltonico” is “colorblind” in English.
Ciao.
hallo guys for some of you who wanna improve their english, we’ve got whatsapp english group. If you wanna be a member send me a sms.
Thank you for this interesting class. I must admit that I had to see the vid again to check what is your favorite color Ronnie… and just to have this answer correct.
Wow, my score is bad!!
Joke with hair is very funny. I’ve got a lot of pleasure listening for you. Thank you Ronnie!
Liked the lesson!
Thanks!
thank you
Thanks for the lesson Ronnie! In fact, such lessons as this are useful ’cause you start searching more words on the subject in your memory.
We also have zillions of crazy names for the basic colors in Portuguese. For example, we have “bastard amber” (a kind of pink), “drake’s neck” (a kind of “bottle-green” :D ), “let’s kiss” (a red), “pink possession” (a dark and strong shade of pink), “superfantastic magic pink” (another pink variation), “mutant brown” (a very beautiful greyish brown), “scandal red” (a red that… screams :O ), “drunken green” (maybe because a drunkard’s face), “purple tragedy” and so on. :)
Thanks Ronny

I’m really a color blind, I sometimes can’t tell the difference between some kind of green and blue .
Dear All,
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year 2017.

Hello, Ronnie,
Thanks again for your lesson, we have also indigo, khaki, turquoise and many others…I think, as you told, we can named the colors by itselfs LOL
Have a great time :)
Thanks, Ronni??? I just fell in love with the Salmon pink ? Hope to see more funny videos from you ❤
Thanks Ronnie!
Here we have “flag green” (“verde bandeira”), which, I deduce, only makes sense here. Something like “flag red” in Canada. :)

Hello everyone,
this lesson was rally useful for me.I very frequently use colors without knowing it.
I’m going to give you examples each of them.
RED: I drink sparkling wine only on December 31.
Black and Gray: There are many ravens and doves in my town.
Purple: My mother made a delicious plum cake yesterday.
Orange: I prefer a Yellow melon to cantaloupe.
Green and Yellow:I think that, the most common sour fruits are:lime and lemon.
Blue: I knew a gentleman who was in a navy.
Pink: I would rather eat Miruna than Salmon.Salmon is too greasy for me.
White: I drink only lactose-free milk.
Very simple instances.
See you late in the next lesson :)
thanks
It was superb lesson and i learned
a lot.
I have only two wrong answer but my grade still wrong
Yas, Ronnie is the best teacher and Emma. I got 10/10!!
Thanks for a colourful journey! It’s a pleasure to hear that somebody loves indigo too, once I even dared to dye my hair indigo… It was an interesting experience). Colour is also an experience and I think that this video is a great base to form the experience of a colour in mind. When you think of something similar or, at least, connected to the shade that you see, it creates a special way of vision for you to identify the colour.
Such vibe is really important for me as for an artist. For me shades are memories, for example: salmon is a sunset in July, lime is a grasshooper in hay in August, and so on…
Anyway, the video is suuuuuuper useful). Ronnie made a great job. It introduced me some new shades and I really hope to see and use them soon!
I’ve been painting all my life (I’m 19 years old). always knew only the basic colors, never heard of others. just now I found out about so many color names in English .. there are many of them, it will be difficult to remember, but it is very interesting! it was a great video tutorial. very interesting manner of presenting the material. Thanks to the host for the sincere emotions, because of them I want to watch this video carefully! for my future work, it is extremely important for me to know all these colors. I will tell the students about colors as you do. I also want to note that the quiz was also interesting.
8/9! Good! My goodness! What a hell! So many colors words, I was confused by these words! How can I control these colors! I need calm.
Happy that I got 9/9 correct! Such an improvement compared to when I started :D
