Colors
When you answer the question "What colors do you think look good on you?"
, is it necessary to add "s" to the color words , or "s" is optional? What's the difference between "red" and "reds" when you answer this question?
I heard people say "Blues and purples, some greens, maybe yellows or orange, but not red or brown"
"Violets, blues, browns....cooler colors. Bright reds and I do not get along!"
"Black and only black. That is the only color I will wear... except for the occasional jeans."
I'm confused.
Thanks a LOT!

You might say of a certain painter (artist), "His blues are exquisite!"
Hmmm, I misunderstood you.
If you ask, "What colors?" the answer would be:
Black and lavender
Reds
Green, yellow and orange
Purple, as a single color, would be an unnatural answer - without some reframing of the question.
