Directions: From the four answers, select the most appropriate answer.
Which of the following is NOT a colour?
- Red

- Mauve
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Dark
Red, lilac (a pale purple) and mauve (a pale violet) are names of colours. 'Dark' describes how deep or light a shade is, as in 'dark red', so it is not itself a colour.
