At a young age, we learnt about the primary colors red, blue and yellow. Then, when we grew older, we learnt about secondary and tertiary colors that we will get by mixing the three primary ones. But most of us aren't exposed to hundreds of shades; some are obviously named, some not so. For example, we'd assume a color called 'avocado' to be a greenish hue, but what about the color 'cerulean'?
This quiz will test your knowledge of color shades. Look at the color in each question and try to identify the exact name of the shade! Don't worry, you have 1 out of 3 chances to get it right, so try it out and learn more about colors!

Either my screen is wrong, or the names of some of these colors are. Malachite stones are a much deeper green, Ecru is a softer off-white, and Mauve has more pink than purple in it, and also more gray than was in the color shown.
