How to sign “Color” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Color” instead
Step by step
- Hold your dominant hand open with all five fingers spread.
- Bring the open hand up in front of your mouth and chin.
- Flutter your fingers up and down in a quick wiggle.
- Keep your palm facing you and make the fluttering motion small and lively.
- Raise your eyebrows slightly, as if asking about or showing off colors.
Practice tip
The wiggling fingers are like a painter's brush dabbing at many colors.
