Colours = Ngā Tae: Flash Cards
This is a basic list of colours. Colour is very subjective, but I have tried to use the more common words wherever possible. For example, I went with 'parauri' for brown, but there are other browns. 'parauri' is a chocolate-brown; 'kākaka' is a reddish brown; 'pākākā' is something like chestnut. There's also the loan-word, 'parāone'.
include levels:

mā

pango

kahurangi

whero

kikorangi

karaka

kōwhai

kākāriki
