"She has blue eyes."

Translation: 她有蓝色的眼睛。

[Bearic]

So you can say both 'lan se de yan jing' and 'lan yan jing'?

[NasuSamaruk0]

Yes, both are correct.

[kuobenj]

Why can't you say 她有藍色眼睛？

[chonglamprecht]

It's either 她有蓝眼睛 or 她有蓝色的眼睛

[Kivolamuzikisto]

Yes, and you might think of it like this:
蓝眼睛 = blue eyes

蓝色的眼睛 = eyes of (the color) blue.

[AndrewVanL2]

蓝色 is a noun while 蓝 is an adjective. You need 的 to connect nouns to nouns but not nouns to adjectives.

[ClarenBert]

It's a mattet of habits. We either say 蓝眼睛 or 蓝色的眼睛

她眼睛是蓝色的 should be right, right? I wrote 她眼睛蓝色的

[chonglamprecht]

It will be "Her eyes are blue" instead of the answer

為什麼我用繁體字寫的答案忽然不對了？

[The_Laniakean]

I think people usually leave out 色的 when the color is an inherent property. But there are a lot of counter-examples, such as this sentence.
