Explanation

In Spanish, colors must agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe. This means that colors change slightly depending on whether the noun is masculine or feminine, singular or plural. For example, blanco (white) becomes blanca for feminine nouns and blancos or blancas for plural masculine or feminine nouns, respectively.
