The question for asking colors is constructed similar to the way it´s done in English: Eng: What color is XXX? Tr: XXX ne renk? (Here, ne is what and renk is color) The answer is also simple: Eng: XXX is red. Tr: XXX kırmızı. However, note the difference in word ordering when you want to add a color (or any adjective) to an indefinite noun. Eng: A red XXX. Tr: Kırmızı bir XXX. (Not ´Bir kırmızı XXX´)
