This is my car.

It's really old.

I used to drive it when I was a very small, tiny baby.

I've had this car for a long time.

Let me ask you something.

What colour is my car?

If you said, mmm, like, I don't know.

Take a good look. What colour?

Black and black here, and then like yellow or something.

You are...

You're right, but mm-mm, that's kind of wrong because there are not just yellows or blacks

in the world of car paint anymore.

So, if you're looking to fix up an old car like this and make it your baby, make it beautiful,

if you're into reconditioning old cars, or if you're into interior design, painting,

painting your house a new colour, and you go to the paint store and you say:

"Definitely I would like to have a blue living room",

the people that work at the paint store are going to do this:

-"What colour blue?"

-"Uh, blue.

Maybe light blue, dark blue. That's what I got, light blue, dark blue."

So what I'm going to teach you today is all about colours, but shades of colours and the

super crazy names that we have for them, because it's not just green anymore.

My jacket, it's not green.

It's kelly green, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Sherry from Hong Kong, this lesson's for you.

Hi.

I miss you.

[Laughs]

Cherry, Sherry, Sherry? Cherry!

What colour do you think cherry is?

What colour is a cherry? Red.

So, let's start off with red.

Colours?

These are names of colours, but we change them up, we play with them.

So, you guys know the colour red.

Have you heard of the colour crimson?

It means red.

So, all of these ones are colour-coded to help you.

If you're colour-blind, good luck; everything's kind of the same.

So, how do we get these strange colours?

We will name colours after food or drink.

So, we've got crimson, we've gone wine-delicious-and another food is a cherry.

Cherries and wine, they're red.

They're different shades of red, but they're still red.

We also name colours after flowers.

A geranium is a flower.

Guess what colour it is?

It's red.

It can be pink, too, but that's okay.

So, sometimes maybe you want to buy red paint, you go to the store and it's called geranium

or poppy.

So, this just means red.

Moving right along.

We have black.

Now, black is not just black anymore.

Black has changed to ebony, onyx-great band, by the way-raven...

Raven's a bird.

So, we name colours after animals, food, and flowers.

Sable, and then we have night shade.

When I was younger I had a car that was night shade, so at nighttime it was black, but in

the daylight it was not blue, navy.

Cool car.

Cool colour.

Got dirty a lot.

Night shade.

Next up, not just purple anymore.

We have the flower of lavender, we have lilac, which is another flower.

This is one of my favourites: mauve.

Now, it looks like mowawu, mauve, but it's actually mauve.

We have plum, which is a food; violet, which is a flower; and amethyst, which is a type...

A type of stone or a mineral.

I was born in February, so my ring is an amethyst.

It's purple.

Mm-hmm.

Moving right along, grey.

We have ash, battleship-mm-hmm-dove.

Did you know that doves and pigeons are the same?

Mm-hmm.

Except doves are white and grey.

Oyster, delicious food.

We have a stone, stone grey, good colour for your house.

And we also have gun metal.

So, gun metal, battleship.

We're getting some war themes going on in this paint.

Back to the fruits and veggies, we have orange.

We have cantaloupe.

Now, a cantaloupe is a fruit.

The inside of the cantaloupe, it's orange.

Carrot, marigold. Marigold's a flower.

And we also have tangerine.

It looks like an orange.

It's a little bit smaller than an orange.

We also have the colour orange.

No? Not funny yet?

Green, lots of food, lots of things in our...

In nature are green.

So we have one of my favourite, avocado, which is how you make guacamole.

So, avocado is a darker green.

Lime green.

The inside of my fantabulous jacket is lime.

The outside, kelly.

We have this very, very crazy colour called chartreuse, that's green.

Jade.

Have you watched Jade's videos?

Did you know that she's not green at all?

Jade is a type of stone.

We have kelly.

Hi, kelly.

And we also have sage.

Sage is a type of herb or a plant.

It's green.

Mm-hmm.

See how this is working out?

Then we have blue.

Sapphire. Sapphire is a dark blue.

And even darker than sapphire is navy.

Now, sometimes navy looks black.

You have to be really careful about this one.

We also have baby blue.

Why is your baby blue?

There's something wrong. Okay?

You need to check on the baby.

We also have sky blue.

That makes sense because the sky is blue.

Why the sky is blue, I don't know.

This would be baby blue or sky blue.

We also have indigo, Ronnie's favourite colour.

Indigo is a mix of purple and blue.

It doesn't get purple, it gets blue.

Cobalt.

Now, cobalt is a very, very bright, wonderful blue.

Let me find something cobalt for you.

This would be considered cobalt blue.

Sometimes it's called electric blue.

I didn't know electricity had a colour.

And also Latin-speak-, speaking people, you might recognize this: azure.

Azul, azure. Get it?

Blue? It's all blue.

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.

This is yellow.

What?

This is green.

I don't have a yellow marker.

That's okay.

So yellow we can call amber, which is also a person's name.

Now, amber is a girl's name and it's also a type of stone, like an amethyst or an emerald

or a sapphire.

Blonde, mmm, blonde beer, delicious.

Get what colour it is, it's yellow.

Some people have blonde hair, not me.

Gold, oh, you guys know gold.

Gold is darker.

And then we have our food, represent, lemon.

Mm-hmm.

And, oo, sunshine yellow.

Maybe you want to paint your kitchen sunshine yellow so that when you wake up in the morning

it's sunshine.

Or you might just want lemon.

There's a difference.

Go to your paint store.

Next up we have the lighter shade of red, which is pink.

It can be called salmon, the fish; rose, a beautiful flower; blush.

Blush is a verb.

It's what happens when you get embarrassed, your cheeks go pink or red, and you blush.

We also have peach, which is a fruit, and coral.

Coral is something that is alive in the ocean and fish live in there.

I guess it's pink.

White.

Now, if you've ever had to buy white paint, you're in for a treat because they have frosted;

milk or cream-very different-alabaster, which is a white mineral, it's white; or pearl.

All of these just mean different shades of white.

So, if you're into colours and you have a favourite colour, there's probably another

crazy name for it.

The other cool thing you can do is you can make up a name for stuff,

like jobby brown.

Mm-hmm.

I'll be back with more colours.
