"The color is blue."

Translation: Il colore è azzurro.

I thought colour endings changed? Colore azzurre.

Colore is masculine :) "il colore azzurro", "i colori azzurri". Words ending in -e in the singular are gender invariant and end in -i in the plural. Also, not all colors change: "il colore rosa", "i colori rosa".

I think you mean words ending in -e in the singular end in -i in the plural

Fixed, thanks!

I am italian and I remember when we learned english azzurro was: light blu. Instead blu was blue....

Whatever happened to "blu"?

[lynettemcw]

It was accepted for me

This example is where the English sentence should be "The color is light blue" if DL is trying to teach us later that "azzurro" is really light blue.

Could one not also say "celeste" instead of "azzurro"? (i.e., a paler blue)

[Doc0048]

@jvitti624 Yes, you can. I don't know whether DL knows the word "celeste". For him everything is "azzurro". Blue is "blu", not "azzurro". If you see something really blue (dark blue), it's not possible to say "azzurro", it's "blu" or "blu scuro" (blue or dark blue).

Celeste is more clear than azzurro but almost the same
