Netherlandish Altarpiece/Patinir blue-greys for @___OED___ -- though Lapis blue like in MSS pigments is apparently 瑠璃色 (ruri-iro).

The red fox, red squirrel & robin red breast are so called as there was no name for the colour orange before the fruit was imported to Britain around the middle ages. There's a fascinating fact behind all the colour names on our 'Language of Colour' prints #colours #colournames

We took our learning outside this afternoon. We were identifying and reading the colours in French, Though we had to battle the wind a little! 🌬🇫🇷 We are all feeling more confident in translating English to French now. 👍😀🇫🇷 #talkpartners #colournames #confidentpupils
