Complete the sentence
Colors in German are treated as adjectives, which means they are placed before the noun they describe, or after the verb "sein" (to be).
With "sein": When a color comes after the verb "sein", it does not change its ending. Example: Der Himmel ist blau.
Capitalizing Nouns: Remember, while colors like rot or blau are lowercase, the nouns they describe like das Auto (the car) are always capitalized!
