colorado means "reddish"

it's another way to express the red colour or to mean that sth is reddish.

The tomatoe is red = El tomate es rojo = El tomate es colorado.

It can be a synonym of red but it's not normally used, unless it meas textually reddish. It's also used as a kind of slang or idiom to mean that someone has blushed

You make me blush = Me haces poner colorado (It'd be sth similar as "you make me turn reddish/red" as ashamed)

Note that "colorado" is always used as red but as an adjective, but depending on the context sometimes it's accepted to say "colorado" as a noun (the colour itself)

:D

Hope it'll help you

What Does Colorado Mean

2016-09-29 01:53:24 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

This is what kids say in Spanish when a story has just ended. It has a great rhyme and tempo. Colorín: what was turning red (starting to bush), colorado: is now red (in complexion-- a blush [colorado]) this story has just run out/ finished I going down one hole and coming out another so that you guys tell me another The going out one hole and coming out another I think refers to confusing/ tricking the teller, like a bunny goes in one hole and come out a back way, and being cute so that the teller will tell another, its meant to be charming and cute so that the reader will read another. The original part that just says: "Colorín colorado este cuento se ha acabado." "este cuento se ha acabado" means "This story has just finished" The "colorín colorado" part is basically is a metaphor of "turning pink/ begining to blush," and then "to be actively blushing/ fully flushed" compared to a story that was coming to an end now ended. It is said that this saying originated from the songs of from Crí Crí (a Mexican children singer/ story teller who's real name was Francisco Gabilondo Soler). I can't help wondering if Cri Crí spoke English and had his own private Spanglish joke of "what was being/ becoming read has now been read"

Is difficult to translate the meaning of "colorin colorado" because has rhyme in spanish the all sentences is "y colorín colorado este cuento se ha terminado". usually we use this sentences to end children's story. But in order to respond you 'colorin' refers to the word colour and 'colorado' refers to red colour. "and colorin colorado this story has over"
