The colors in Arabic
Color (in Arabic: لون): is what you see when you modify the pigments so that light is physically seen by the human eye (called the response) and translated in the brain (called the process).
The human eye has three color receptors, respectively sensitive to red, green, and blue. A color can be defined by three components. We can use the rate of red, green, and blue, which corresponds to the system Red Green Blue (RGB). It is used for example in computer science but remains far from our natural perception of colors.
Primary Colors in Arabic
| Color | Color’s Name | literal Trans. | Arabic Trans. (m) | Arabic Trans. (f) | Sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red | ‘ahmar | أحمر | حمراء | Leila’s hair is red | |
| cha^ro leila ahmar | |||||
| شعر ليلى أحمر | |||||
| Green | ‘akhdar | أخضر | خضراء | A green Apple | |
| tuffaha khathraa’ | |||||
| تفاحة خضراء | |||||
| Blue | ‘azraq | أزرق | زرقاء | The sky is blue | |
| as samaa’o zarqaa’ | |||||
| السماء زرقاء |
Complementary colors are colors that, combined, contain all the colors of the spectrum and no pool.
Secondary Colors in Arabic
The three secondary colors in the additive system are:
| Color | Color’s Name | literal Trans. | Arabic Trans. (m) | Arabic Trans. (f) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| + | = | Yellow | ‘asfar | أصفر | صفراء | |||
| + | = | Cyan | ‘azraq samaoui | سماوي | سماوية | |||
| + | = | Magenta | qormozy or orjwaany | قرمزي – أرجواني | قرمزية – أرجوانية | |||
which are actually the primary colors of the subtractive system and give the system CMY(cyan, Magenta, yellow).
Other Colors in Arabic

| Color | Color’s Name | letiral Trans. | Arabic Trans. (m) |

This is very helpful, shukraan jidan for the post! The only comment I have is that I believe yellow (instead of green) is a primary color, while red+yellow=green. And red+blue make purple.
