What is the translation of blue in Swahili?

Answer 1

Blue (color) - Rangi ya buluu

Blue (adj.) - -a buluu (Ex: The blue car = gari la buluu, the blue-skinned woman = mwanamke mwenye ngozi ya buluu)

However, if you want to say a lighter shade of blue, such as sky-blue or cyan, use the word "Samawati"

Sky-blue (color) = Rangi ya samawati

Sky-blue (adj.) = -a samawati (Ex: the sky-blue-coloured house is big = Nyumba ya rangi ya samawati ni kubwa)
