Collections often skip over, which sometimes amaze with the thematic number of words. Well, for example, a list of animal names. In real life, we can immediately name somewhere in the 10-15 most commonly used animals in our language, but other, less noticeable creatures remain in the shadows.
And naturally, we will not be able to name them in any other foreign language. You can also remember about the selection with the names of fruits. I do not argue, you know most of the names, but some just go by the wayside, which is not very good if you work for any fruit company. This is not only about fruits, remember at least the names of stationery in your language of study (selection) and you will understand what you still have to learn and learn.
Today we will be studying another similar collection, which will be a useful source of information for many fans. Before moving on to the study, what are all the flowers (Blumen) that you know in German? I think the first place will be a rose (Rosa), a lily (Lilie), isn't it? You will be surprised, but the list of colors (Blumen) in German is as long as in our native language.
Naturally, we will not study any exotic names there, but only the most popular and frequently used ones.

Colors in German are one of the first topics that learners of the language master. The main and most needed colors are:
Well, you can also add the desired colors to this list:
Although there are many colors - or rather shades, each of the listed colors has a lot ... For example, you can add the words dunkel or hell to make the color darker or lighter.
Look: the word "red" has a decent bunch of synonyms: dunkelrot (dark red), hellrot (light red), weinrot (burgundy), rötlich (reddish), glutrot (crimson), rosarot (pink red), blutrot ( blood red), feuerrot (fiery red), purpurrot (purple), knallrot (bright red). But how often do we need such an accurate description of all shades?
And I will tell you about some moments of the use of colors in German:
Sometimes the names of flowers in German are written with a small letter, in other cases with a capital letter.
So with the little one when answering the question wie? - which? and are adjectives. For example: ein blaues Kleid, der Stoff ist blau.
With a capital letter - if it answers the question what? - transforming into a noun. In such cases, color is often preceded by prepositions such as auf, bei, in or pronouns - mein, sein.
Wirgehen bei Grün über die Straße. We are crossing the green road.
Diese Schuhe in Schwarz und Blau zu haben. This shoe is available in black and blue.
Ich liebe das Blau seiner Augen. I love the blueness of his eyes.
In addition, with a capital letter, the name of the color in German is written:
1. if the color is used as a proper name.
For example - Rotes Kreuz(Red Cross), Schwarze Meer(Black Sea).
2. Names of historical events: Schwarzer Freitag(Black Friday).
3. Special calendar days: der Weisser Sonntag(White Sunday)
4. And concepts like these: RoterMilan(Red Milan), Schwarze Witwe(Black Widow).
Also, colors in German can have a comparative degree!! The German grass may be greener, the sky bluer, and the dress yellower.
Diese Wiese ist noch grüner. This meadow is even greener.
The only exceptions are colors consisting of two words, for example, the above dunkelrot. Such colors do not have a comparative degree.

The perception of color is connected with the perception of the world around us. Therefore, the designations of various colors and their shades inevitably find their reflection in the language system. However, in different languages, color naming and, accordingly, color rendering are not produced in the same way. The German vocabulary used to convey colors has its own national characteristics and is naturally connected with the history and traditions of the German people.
In order to convey color in German, it is necessary to get acquainted with the basic vocabulary related to colors, as well as peripheral color vocabulary - additional color shades. Each individual primary color forms a kind of core, the center of the family, around which words are grouped that are directly related to this color and convey all its various shades.
| Russian color designation | ||
PRIMARY COLORS |
||
| red | rotorangegelb | Das Rot |
| orange | dasOrange | |
| yellow | Das Gelb | |
| green | das Grun | |
| blue | Das Blau | |
| Violet | Das Violet | |
| Russian color designation | German color designation (adjective) | German color designation (noun) |
| purple | lila | Das Lila |
| white | weiss | Das Weiss |
| black | schwarz | Das Schwarz |
| brown | Brown | Das Braun |
| terracotta | terracota, terracota | das Terrakota |
| grey | grau | das Grau |
| pink | rosa | dasRosa |
| burgundy | bordeaux | das Bordeaux |
| beige | beige | Das Beige |
The color naming in German can be based on a wide variety of motifs associated with almost any area of human life and activity, as well as the surrounding nature and wildlife. The designation of shades of the main color can be transmitted by comparing the base color with the color of certain trees, fruits, landscapes, seasons, substances, minerals, proper names, drinks, etc. (for example, tannengrün - a dark green color comparable to the color of spruce needles; tomatenrot - dull red, comparable to the color of ripe tomatoes, maigrün - bright green, reminiscent of the color of fresh spring greens, safari - the color of the sun-scorched African savannah, etc.). In the situation described, adjectives denoting color can be both simple and complex (consisting of two bases). Compound adjectives can also be formed by adding two stems, the first of which is the adjective light (hell-), dark (dunkel-), medium saturation, intensity (mittel-), deep (tief-), and the second is the color, the shade of which conveys this compound adjective, for example: dark red - dunkelrot; light green - hellgrün; blue medium intensity - mittelblau.

The palette of the color picture of the surrounding world is very complex and diverse. The transfer of various color shades in a large number of cases is directly related to the images of specific objects with which certain colors are associated in the human mind, for example: fuchsia color - Fuchsia, classic denim color - Jeansblau, coffee color - Kaffeebraun, eggplant color - Aubergine, deep dark -blue color (color of the night) - Mitternachstblau, etc.
In general, regarding the vocabulary associated with the transfer of color in German, we can say that it is much more specific, that is, there are much more lexical units for the transfer of color shades in German than in Russian. In this sense, the Russian language is prone to a more abstract rendering of colors and their shades, and for the most part tends to use colors from the main (basic) spectrum in almost any life situation.
