"A barna egy erős szín."

Translation: Brown is a strong color.

[GerSzej]

could someone comment on the use of erös (wrong accent, I know) here. strong, hot, warm... is it emotionally strong. Thank you

[Wazav94]

It means intensive, emphatic in this case.

Why the article?

[Findil]

Singular nouns always need an article, unless they refer to more than one objects, acting like mass nouns: "Körtét árulok." -- "I sell pears."

[Brakimieni1]

General statements in Hungarian need definite articles - kind of like in French.

Does the word "szin" have any link to the shade of blue?

Blue in Finnish: sininen
Blue in Russian: sini

[JiriBarton]

Do szín and színész have anything in common?

[jzsuzsi]

It is possible but debatable that they have etimological connection.

These words are definitely related:

színész: actor

színház: theater

színjátszás: acting

színpad: stage.

What szín as a color has to do with it, I don't know.

[SchlachterZoltan]

The word "színész" rather comes from the building "szín", like the "fásszín". Look at it here: https://www.palocok.com/picture/userfiles/image/cikkek/2013/2013%20j%C3%BAlius%20/pajtakert/sz%C3%ADn.jpg

Red is stronger though

[Sanctacaris_unc.]

As a German citizen, I disagree strongly. Brown is not acceptable.

[eik55]

You have to be a German citizen to disagree?

[Sanctacaris_unc.]

No, but in Germany brown has ahem a historically burdened meaning...

[PerAmneus]

Quod erat demonstrandum. It's a strong colour that evokes strong emotions.
