"Her color is pink."

Translation: Haar kleur is roze.

So there's no het-word version of roze, that doesn't end in "-e"? I assumed that "roos" would be the indefinite article het-word version of roze.

[iCristalrope]

Roos is possible as well

[xMerrie]

No, 'rood' is 'red'. Pink is 'roze'. :)

[iCristalrope]

Well I'm from Belgium and there roos is correct but roze certainly works too

[xMerrie]

Ah, sorry. Didn't know that.
Here in the Netherlands we don't have 'roos' (as a colour).

[iCristalrope]

No problem :)

[Johan232960]

That is wright !!!

[ImmeychHua]

Why roos is wrong?

[El2theK]

Because "roos" is only used in specific areas, whereas "roze" is standard Dutch. That does not make "roos" wrong in the regions where it is being used. But for the purpose of learning a language it is best not to confuse people with all the words that regionally can be used.

As a guide Van Dale defines "roos" as:

• The flower rose

• A rosebush

• Dandruff

• Bullseye of a dartboard

But not as a colour. As said that is "roze"

I'm confused as to why "de kleur van haar is roze" was marked wrong.
