| Video Discription | Prepare to be amazed by the surprising origins of the English words for colours (or colors for our American friends). I promise you'll have at least one "wow" moment as I reveal: 🔵 Why the Ancient Greeks had no word for BLUE. 🔶 How the fruit "ORANGE" came before the colour. ◼️ Why BLACK used to mean WHITE. 🔴 Which colour we named first (I've given you a hint) 💿 Why there are two ways to spell GREY/GRAY 🌈 And much, much more. Find out the etymologies of black, white, gray, blue, brown, green, orange, purples, pink, red and yellow - from their origins thousands of years ago, through Old English and into the present day.
