	damn I was so close to getting some of the Italian ones. The only way I got any Portuguese was when they were the same as Spanish, which fortunately happened a few times.

	Ach! The only ones I knew were the german and french ones, the others were mostly educated guesses.

	@ ahh: And also the Nerazzurri for Internazionale, o I figured azzurri or azzurro is blue too.

	Pink in portuguese is ROSA, we may say "cor de rosa" sometimes, but just ROSA should definetelly be accepted.

	For French, the answers that appear should be "marron" for brown and "violet" for purple. As discussed above, "brun" is used for very specific things and doesn't reflect the general color, and "pourpre" is only seen in old literature nowadays. So, the latter two should be the alternate answers for better consistency.

	Something goofy with the Portuguese purple. I didn't type anything remotely close to it, and somehow I got it. Didn't realize it until after I finished though, so no idea what triggered it. Retook the quiz and couldn't recreate it.

	Loved this, but Sporcle can be so humbling. Having travelled regularly to Italy for over 40 years I have only just realised that azzurri is only a light shade of blue rather than the primary colour. I must have always assumed that when Italians said "blu" they were using the English to be polite. More depressing is that I knew all the French and most of the Spanish, Italian and German colours, but only 50% of the Portuguese despite living there (in Portugal) for around three months of the year. Must do better.

	For German, "Violett" should be acceptable for "purple". (If distinguished, Violett tends to be a tad brighter, but generally it is considered the more "learned" way of saying Lila, for whatever that's worth). Also in Italian, you may want to consider allowing "azzurro" for blue, although we're going into shades here which would open a whole Pandora's box, this is commonly used.

	Only knew the Spanish ones, lol.

	That's pretty embarrassing I didn't get orange or blue in French. Not that I've ever studied French, but I AM a native English speaker. And I probably should have known those two....

	It's so interesting to see the commonalities among the different languages!

	BogPoet:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 03:56 GMT		3 points
	Portuguese red can also be 'encarnado' - slightly less common but still massively used.

	Sachsen:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 04:12 GMT		8 points
	Please accept the spelling "gruen" for German green. Just typing "grun" is not actually correct (although I understand accepting it in lieu of making someone type the u with umlauts.)

	Giallo! - Was trying to think what the Italian version of amarillo/amarelo would be, and never would have guessed this. Great word though and it is now stuck in my brain going round and round...

	dudemanbearpig:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 15:52 GMT		3 points
	So apparently Yogurt was saying, "Use the black!"

	MorningBell411:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 22:27 GMT		1 point
	You should accept "cor de laranja".

	shakescene:	Sep 25th, 2011 at 07:24 GMT		2 points
	I was surprised that, since German is the one language among those five that I haven't studied in a classroom, that was the only language for which I got all the colours the first time around. And, although my Portuguese teacher said I should have got the Portuguese from knowing Spanish, in fact you can see that's only true for about half the colours. "Preto" and "Castanho", for example, look like those colours in none of the other languages nor in English.

	Akhoya:	Sep 25th, 2011 at 16:09 GMT		5 points
	Like many other people probably did, I put in all the french colors and then variously added "a" or "o" to try to get the other romance languages.

	TimmyD77:	Oct 27th, 2011 at 18:06 GMT		1 point
	Good Quiz! But pink is actually also Pink in german and blue is azzuro in italian ...

	me3_4ever:	Mar 10th, 2012 at 19:01 GMT		2 points
	"Mauve" (French) should be accepted since it's widely used in Canada...

	speedbird007:	Jun 17th, 2012 at 01:19 GMT		3 points
	OK, so what is pourpre?! I'm half French and have never heard it in my life. In my family, at least, we use the word "mauve" for purple. C'mon get your argot in your answers...!

	Flick:	Jun 17th, 2012 at 13:40 GMT		1 point
	@TimmyD77: azzuro is not 'actually' blue it is light blue (or literally azure) @speedbird007: I have re-looked at mauve and it seems to translate as simple mauve. I may have missed something though, please send me a link if you find otherwise.

	boumboum:	Jan 22nd, 2013 at 22:34 GMT		2 points
	Being a native French speaker (and a translator), I would definitely use "mauve" for "purple". There's no perfect equivalent, but I'd normally use "violet" to translate "violet", and "pourpre"... pretty much never, except maybe in some literary texts.

	Colmar:	Mar 17th, 2013 at 00:55 GMT		2 points
	Sporcle seems to have a large amount of German speakers! I speak French and Spanish, learning Portuguese, so German was definitely the weak point for me.
