Colors are adjectives and they describe nouns.
Spanish has a rule that says, if the noun is plural then the adjective has to be plural too.
If the noun is singular than the adjective needs to be singular.
If the noun is masculine plural, then the adjective needs to be masculine plural.
If the noun is feminine plural, then the adjective needs to be feminine plural.
Here are some examples.
el caballito - the horse - It's a masculine singular noun because it ends in "o".
la camioneta - the pick-up truck - It's a feminine singular noun because it ends in "a".
los caballitos - the horses - It's a masculine plural noun, it has an "s" on the end.
Las camionetas - the pick-up trucks - It's a feminine plural noun, it has an "s" on the end.
Here are some examples with the noun being described with a color.

Here is an example if the adjective does not end in an "a" or an "o"
Notice that the masculine and feminine singular noun use the same adjective and the masculine and feminine plural noun use the same adjective. This works for all adjectives that do not end in an "a" or an "o".
