Naming colors is one of the earliest pieces of vocabulary a child masters. What makes it interesting here is that you cannot simply say the color, you have to describe something that has it.
That small restriction sets off real thinking. Red brings up strawberries or a fire engine, green brings up grass or a frog. Children end up learning how colors connect to the objects around them.

Frequently asked questions
Only 15 cards, do they not run out quickly?
A 30 second round rarely gets through all of them. If it does, Premium lets you combine this category with another, Fruits being a natural fit.
Is it good for learning colors?
Yes, particularly because the child does not just recognize the color, they name it and find an example to go with it.
