Can "kleurig" also be used to describe something as colourful? As I noticed that in the reverse course, it was used to describe "colourful" too.

I'm not a native english speaker. What is the difference between 'colorful' and 'colourful' ?
Colorful is American spelling, whereas colourful is British spelling.

De words are generally either masculine or feminine. Het words are usually gender neutral. So "de rok" only tells you it's not neutral. Common sense tells you it's feminine. Unless of course you are Scottish. ;)

Trust me.. it's masculine. Common gender in Dutch only came into existence in recent history.

It's not too hard to look up a word in a dictionary like vandale - http://vandale.nl/opzoeken?pattern=rok&lang=nn#.VKyVBHtTvuM

And don't forget Wkipedia (not the most reliable source, but a good place to start, sometimes): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_Dutch_declension#Historical_overview
