You also use the word colour when you are using more unusual colour words. For example, you can say that something is a bluish-green colour. Both cubs were a silvery-grey colour. There was the sea, a glittering cream colour. You can also say, for example, that something is bluish-green in colour. The leaves are rough and grey-green in colour.
