what's the iro at the end? in my Japanese class we were taught "aoi" blue "akai" red "midori" green "orenji" orange "shiroi" white "kuroi" black and "pinku" pink. what's the deal?
"Midori iro" is the adjetive "Green" or the sustantive "Green color", "Midori" is the sustantive of "Green" ;3
Well kuroko has white hair, his name is based on the fact that he's the shadow.
And for "Akai", "Aoi", etc. "i" is used in many words to indicate is it an adjetive~ So "Ao" is the sustantive "Blue", "Aoi" is the adjetive of "Blue"

Technically, shouldn't it be "green color"? Either way, green or green color should be acceptable
This right here. "Midori" by itself is green as a noun. "Midorina" is green as an adjective. "Midoriiro" is "Green color." Some colors like blue, red, and black are i-adjectives. Ones like green are na-adjectives and follow the same structures.
Yeah, i dont get it. Why do the "i" colour adjevtives not have "iro" (ie: red colour), but the "no" colour adjectives do have iro (ie: green colour). Also, a few websites i went on looking up stuff on colour DIDN'T have iro on the end of "no" form color adjectives.
I think this is still not fixed. I typed "green color" and it marked my answer as wrong...
Not accepted as a correct answer, because duolingo favors non-Kanji use for some contrived reason. Japanese doesn't work that way, unfortunately. Sole use of hiragana is considered child-like, I have no clue as to why duolingo continues to perpetuate what amounts to incorrect answers.
