Name_____________________________

Colors color our language—and that is not just a pigment of the imagination.  Think of the words we used to describe how we feel.  At various times we are green with envy, gray with exhaustion, red with embarrassment or white with rage. We can fall into a black mood, a purple passion or a blue funk; when things start looking up, we feel in the pink.

Here’s a golden opportunity for you to show your true colors by ranging over the rainbow of hues that color everyday expressions. Complete each phrase with a color.  Most colors will appear more than once.
