olivier in france Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 In English the color "Burgundy" (as in "the Redskins play in Burgundy and Gold") uses the english word for the french region Bourgogne. One of the best regions for wine. In French the color burgundy is "Bordeaux", a word directly linked to a french wine region but an other one! As i prefer Bourgogne compared to Bordeaux in wines, i'm happy the english language shares my wine tastes! I was just wondering what is the name of that color in other languages... Do the spaniards say "Rioja" or "Burdeos", the Italian "Chianti"?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 So it's more of a non-english question. I don't know if many people on this board speak any other languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago, a popular shade of shoe color was "oxblood". Same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can actually expand the color palette quite a bit if you allow for "-ish." Purplish-Red, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
