Remember

Names of colours in Arabic function both as nouns and adjectives. Therefore, when colours function as modifiers to a noun they follow the noun, unlike the English adjectives or pre-modifiers which occur before nouns.

More examples:

أريد الكتاب الأزرق

I want the blue book.

أريدُ القُبَّعةَ البُنّيّة

I want the brown hat.

أريدُ العَلَمَ الرماديّ

I want the grey flag.

 أريدُ السَّيَّارةَ الحَمراء

I want the red car.

أريدُ الزَّهرة البيضاء

I want the white flower
