Need Translation help

Postby PPenguin » April 2nd, 2016 5:28 pm

Hi all

I just stumbled upon this riddle and I just can't crack it even though it's supposed to be totally easy:

仲間はずれの色
1: すおう
2: あかね
3: ぐんじょう
4: べに

Could some1 give me a translation for this? I'd be grateful, thanks.

It asks which colour is the odd one out and then lists four colours--or, more accurately, the names of four specific shades of colour. The easiest way to find out what colour these shades are is to do a Google image search for them. Since hiragana can be ambiguous, the image search will work better if you search using kanji, which are:-

1: 蘇芳色 ... すおう
2: 茜色 ...... あかね
3: 群青色 ... ぐんじょう
4: 紅色 ...... べに
