What does COLOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
The property of an object that produces a visual sensation such as red, blue, or green through reflected or emitted light.
Color is the American spelling of the British colour, and both describe the way light interacts with a surface to appear as a particular hue to the eye. The word extends beyond simple hue to cover vividness or variety in descriptions, as when a story is said to have plenty of color, and it also functions as a verb meaning to add hue to something. Painters, designers, and scientists all rely on the concept though each field studies it differently.
