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 am italian and I remember when we learned english azzurro was: light blu. Instead blu was blue....
Could one not also say "celeste" instead of "azzurro"? (i.e., a paler blue)

@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).

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.
This is getting ridiculous. This time I as told to write 'The color is blue' in Italian. I wrote Il colore e (with accent - although the word given was 'is' and when I clicked on it e' appeared) azzurro. I was told this ws wrong as it should be The color is blue.
