Colors and Gender Agreement
Colors that change with gender
Most colors agree in gender with the noun they describe:
- vermelho — vermelha
- branco — branca
- preto — preta
- amarelo — amarela
- castanho — castanha
Examples:

Colors that do NOT change
Some colors are invariable (same for masculine and feminine):
- azul → o carro azul / a camisola azul
- verde → o casaco verde / a saia verde
- cor-de-rosa → pink (always the same)
