Learn UK English, but vodcast.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Born in Rachel Morning, Neil, How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I'm great, Rachel. How's it going.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
All good here? And you any news?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well? Winters arrived and it's getting colder by the.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Day, typical British winter, right, it gets freezing here.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, winters are proper cold in the UK.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
So today we're teaching our listeners about colors, right, yeap.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Our listeners are going to learn the colors in English?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Would you like to list the colors in English for
our listeners?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Absolutely? Red, burgundy, coral, pink, green, olive green, lime green, blue, teal, turquoise,
navy blue, yellow, gold, purple, violet, brown, beige, khaki, orange, white, cream, gray, black,
(01:23):
and silver.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Very good, Rachel. Are there any colors there that surprised you?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
There are quite a few I didn't know, to be honest.
For example, teal, I didn't know that was a.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
There's teal, turquoise, navy blue, light blue, dark blue.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, fascinating, very cool. And let me ask you what's
your favorite color?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
My favorite color is blue, definitely blue.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Wow. But what shade of blue do you have a preference?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Just standard blue.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Haha, standard blue?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Ha haha.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I reckon, it's just regular blue, not too light, not too.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Dark, like a middle tone blue.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Right exactly?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Ah? I see. Do you prefer mid tones or do
you like light or dark colors?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, for clothes, I usually go for neutral, mid tone colors. Yeah,
not too light or dark. They match my skin tone
better as I'm fair skinned, so I have to choose
colors that are in between.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So you said you're fair skinned. What's the exact color
of your hair and eyes?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
My hair is brown and my eyes are dark brown.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And one thing we all learn at school is about
primary and secondary colors. Do you remember what the primary
colors are?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I think the primary colors are yellow, blue, and red?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Ah? Yes, well done. To get secondary colors, you have
to mix the primary ones, right do you know which
ones they are?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So secondary colors are if you mix yellow and red
you get orange yep. And if you mix blue and
yellow you get green. And if you mix red and
blue you get purple or violet.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's something I still get mixed up about sometimes.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Same here.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Mixing colors is quite important.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
So secondary colors are orange, green, and violet or purple?
Right yep?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Very interesting? And what are the colors of the rainbow.
Do you remember, ah, the rainbow.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do you know the legend about the rainbow?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
When I was little, my mom told me that if
you got too close to a rainbow, it would swallow
you up. Really, some people said the opposite, that if
you got near a rainbow, if you were a man,
you'd turn into a woman, and if you were a woman,
(04:01):
you'd turn into a man.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh wow, how funny. I've never heard that one before.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Maybe that's why the lgbt Q plus community adopted the
rainbow as their symbols.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's actually really interesting. I've never thought about it that way,
but maybe they use the rainbow as a flag because
of that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's probably an old tale from the past, right, interesting.
So the rainbow is made up of seven.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Colors, okay, and what are they?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They are? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, those are the colors.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
What's your favorite color, Rachel.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, when I was around thirteen or fourteen, my favorite
color was lilac. It still is, but now I prefer black.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Ah, Okay, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Do you know what the most popular color in the
world is?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
The most popular color in the world, I think it's blue.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, I think so too. Loads of people love blue.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
True.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And you know how industries use colors to grab our attention, right?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
And do you know which colours food industries use to
make us feel hungry?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I actually looked this up. It's red and yellow.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's why McDonald's, KFC and all those places use them.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
McDonald's exactly. Last year I even studied this in a
class called audio visual culture, where we learned about the
psychology of colors.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's interesting, yeah, and how.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Different colors can make our brains react in different ways. Now,
you said that since you're fair skinned, you tend to
buy specific clothes in colors that aren't too light or
too dark.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, that's about right.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But usually what color clothes do you buy?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The colors that match my skin tone are things like red, blue,
and white?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Cool? And what do you think of the best color
combinations for decorating a house, for example?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I'm not an expert on home decor, how about to
tell us?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Sure? So, the most common combos are white and blue,
but yellow and green are great for a kitchen, Red
and black are very bold for a formal dining room,
and for the bedroom. Brown and beige because they're more
calming and earthy tones. Gray and blue also go well together,
as do oberjeine, and khaki, but of course it depends
(06:31):
on the person decorating their home.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Ah, what colors are dominant in your home?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
White? Everything is white here, Ah, white is really universal, universal,
absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Then, Rachel, we've come to the end of today's podcast.
Do you have anything else to add about colors?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Nope, not really, that's all for today.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Well, thanks for being here and we'll catch up in
our next podcast episode.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
