Ok why is the verte feminine in this sentence:

Un cher grand pull en laine verte à pois noirs

but violet not in this one:

Les gants en laine violets

Any clues ????

Thanks

you don't accord colours that come from nouns (violet, marron etc.)

In the first sentence the adjective describes the wool, not the jumper.
Feminine singular.
In the second it describes the gloves, not the wool.
Masculine plural.
HTH

That’s so interesting! I didn’t realise. Every day a school day.

So who is right?

Hang on, misread!

It's the gloves that are purple.

The thing about colours from nouns is right though, but violet doesn't come from the flower (it's the other way round).

(Des gants verts en laine)

Says the colour of the wool [of the garment] , in both, surely?

Salut @MergeDragons
is there a typo in this sentence?
Un cher grand pull en laine verte à pois noirs

because I really don't understand what a "cher grand pull" is?
Un très grand pull, un grand pull cher???

Dear, beloved,

In any case, sounds like an ugly jumper.

Thanks for the input folks - yes it is an ugly jumper. An expensive large green woollen jumper with black polka dots. - Please just don't ask why
