Since το χρώμα (the color) is a neuter noun, we use the neuter gender to refer to itself, although we use the masculine or feminine gender to refer to it as a characteristic of a masculine or feminine noun:
| το μαύρο χρώμα |
| ο μαύρος σκύλος |
| η μαύρη γάτα |
| τα μαύρα μάτια |
Foreign words like μπλέ do not change to show case or number:
| το μπλε κασκόλ (french: cache-col) | the blue scarf |
| τα μπλε κασκόλ (french: cache-col) | the blue scarves |
