When did your LO learn their colors?
-
Around 21 months she started trying to answer but want always correct. Now she's really getting good with basics like red and blue.
-
Around 18/19 months, but everything was "rouge". He had the basic ones down by about 21 months.
-
My son started being able to point to the colors when I showed them to him at 18 months. He can now say the colors when he points to something at 30 months, in two languages.
-
He started saying colors randomly around 18 months. He started correctly identifying around 22 months. He's 24 months/2 now and pointing out colors (ROYGBV, +Brown sometimes b/w) is one of his favorites!
-
D really impressed us all when he correctly identified blue at around 18-19 months! But then everything was blue. Now, at 22 months, he'll name blue, red, or pink, but not always correctly.
-
She's had them down for a while now so probably 20 months. She correctly identifies the whole rainbow plus white, black, brown, and blond.
-
By 18 months.
-
bumping this because LO is 25 months and knows the words for the colors, but can't identify them correctly!
-
Sometime after age two they started identifying correctly. @birdofafeather: at my son's 2's preschool it was something they worked on. I don't remember when it happened but I can say that by the time they were 3 all the kids in his class knew the colors.
-
She got blue and yellow around 18 months, then at 20 was able to get blue, yellow, green, red, purple, black, and white. Now at 21 we have those plus pink, brown, grey, and orange.

around 18 months
-
@birdofafeather: my LO knows most of the colors, but half the time she won't say it right. Like in the bath, which cup is yellow and she picks up the blue. But she knows yellow. I think it is just their age. Her teachers said all the kids in the class are the same.
-
16-17 months I think? But he would confuse like colors easily. Like orange and yellow, blue and green, purple and pink. Now be refers to everything by it's color. It's pretty funny. Everything is "red truck" or "blue ball" or "Orange paci."
-
My LO learned all her colors around 20 months. She recognized green at 18 months but knew all her colors by 20. even sky blue and light and dark variations. It took a while but the best thing was this weird song called the "balloon song" its this hokey song that goes something like,
red red balloon, flying in the sky .... and then goes on to do all the colors. After 2 days of watching it a few times, she got her colors.
-
@birdofafeather: if it makes you feel better my lo was probably 26 months or so when he really got into colors. I know one of my nephews wasn't great identifying them until around 3. I recently baby sat a little girl about 26 months and she didn't know them which surprised me because she is usually more advanced with things like that than my LO who is 2 months older. Don't worry, I'm sure your LO will get it soon!
-
We're working on them now at 18/19 months. He says yellow, and yellow things are yellow, but... so is everything else. haha
He can say: Black, White, Yellow, Red, Blue, Green (een), Orange. He can't correctly identify any of them (except yellow, but that could totally be a fluke).
-
@.twist.: of topic but your comment made me laugh because my LO is just starting to talk and is the same way with mama. Sometimes she looks at me or crawls to me and says mama! and I think awwww she knows I'm her mama! Then she crawls to the dog and calls him mama.......
-
@birdofafeather: 28 months and she knows the names of all the colors, but can't seem to say my shirt is blue, ect. Our doctor said 3 years is normal, I was getting worried though! Every time we ask her she goes "uhhhh Orange, because orange is my favorite." I think she just doesn't want to do it! ha
-
@birdofafeather: Right around when he turned 2 he started saying the colors and it took a few months to start identifying them correctly. He's 28 months now (had to count that in my head! I lose track) and is pretty good at naming his colors. I would just name the colors of everything that he was playing with or when we were out and about. A game he likes recently is telling me the colors of cars in parking lots when we go out on errands.
-
DS is 18 months and can point out red, yellow, blue, white, green, and gray when you ask him. We started teaching him when we played with his mega blocks and he caught on really quickly.
He doesn't say the words for the colors though, except for blue which he calls "beep"
-
@Smurfette: Same. Xander (2 on Thursday!!!!) knows the colors, but only identifies them correctly half the time (or less).
-
I'd say around 22-23 months he started getting them correct. I also think it depends on what kids are focused on between colors, numbers and letters. My lo at 25 months knows all colors, numbers 1-10 and sometimes higher, but doesn't really know any letters.
