Idioms and expressions that use the names of colours

<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>Warning:
Idioms are formed using figurative language. The words and their meanings in an idiom are not to be taken literally.
I suggest you learn the meanings of idioms but be very careful using them.
If used incorrectly you could embarrass yourself and possibly offend or at least confuse the listener or reader.
Idioms should be used only by advanced English learners.
