About this word search
Many colour names began as something else. Vermilion and Scarlet were pigments and dyes, Khaki comes from the Urdu word for dust, and Fuchsia is named after a plant, which was itself named after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
Primary colour and Colour wheel use the British spelling with OU. With every direction in play over eighteen squares, start with them, then look for the K in Khaki and the J in Jade.
A good follow-up for older pupils is to arrange the twenty-eight colours around a drawn colour wheel, which quickly shows how many shades of red the list contains.
