COLORS OF RUSSIAN RAINBOW (and how Russians memorize them)

6 years ago

Rainbow is always something beautiful and positive. This is one of the symbols of happiness, I think. And colors are an important part of it!

Радуга - rainbow
We have one useful phrase to learn the colors of the rainbow: “Каждый охотник желает знать, где сидит фазан.” - Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting.
Каждый - Красный - Red

охотник - оранжевый - orange

желает - жёлтый - yellow

знать - зелёный - green

где - голубой - light blue (like old mom jeans)

сидит - синий - dark blue

фазан - фиолетовый - violet

In fact the rainbow consists of a huge number of colors, but the human eye can distinguish these basic 7 colors.
I’ll write the basic colors and some of their shades next time! :)
