Color
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
いろ
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it uses the kun'yomi reading. This is the reading you learned with the kanji, though, so enjoy.
何色がすきですか。
What color do you like?
ピーマンはうれるとみどり色から赤色になります。
Bell peppers turn from green to red when they ripen.
