In a world of colors, so bright and true,
There are shades that you should know too.

Green like the grass, and leaves of a tree,
It's the color of life, it's what you'll see.

Dark like the night, and shadows in the park,
It's a color that can be scary, or just stark.

Black like the darkness, that creeps in your room,
It's a color that can be sad, or full of gloom.

White like a cloud, that floats in the sky,
It's a color that can be pure, and hard to deny.

Grey like the storm clouds, that darken the day,
It's a color that can be dull, or just fade away.

Blue like the ocean, so deep and so vast,
It's a color that can be calm, or a raging blast.

Brown like the earth, beneath your feet,
It's a color that can be strong, or just too neat.

Orange like the sun, that rises in the morn,
It's a color that can be bright, or just be worn.

Light like a candle, that flickers in the night,
It's a color that can be warm, or a guiding light.

Red like a rose, that blooms in the spring,
It's a color that can be bold, or just a fling.

Pink like a princess, in a fairy tale book,
It's a color that can be sweet, or just for looks.

So, young ones, take note of these hues,
And discover the beauty, in each color's muse.
