Why did they switch around the colors in this translation? Is there an order to put them?
Asked 4 years ago
No specific reason for the switch, nor specific order to organise compound colour or multiple colour references. Personal preference, euphony etc. « Jaune et bleu » avoids the vowel-vowel of « bleu et (jaune) » but it is not grammatically essential to do that either in writing or in speech.
