Latin Colors Poster (Colores Latini)

This poster shows the Latin words for different colors, with splashes of paint and helpful illustrations, such as a black cat, a blue whale, and an orange. It's great all ages, and for a Latin classroom or an art room at a school where Latin is taught. I have one in my classroom and in our art classroom where I teach one large Latin class, and the art teachers were happy to have it, which was a good sign to me about the design quality. It prints nicely.

Latin words for colors don't perfectly map onto English (e.g., Romans had a word for shiny white and a word for dull white), but these are as close to accurate as I believe they can be without having too much going on. These have macrons and correspond to classical Latin, although aurantius (orange) wasn't commonly used in the classical period.

Buyers can also message me for a PDF or a JPEG of the same poster. I also have a version that omits the "COLORES LATINI" title; I like it without the title if you can expect students to know it's Latin on sight.
