PRONUNCIATION OF COLOURS
GRAMMATICAL CATEGORY OF COLOURS
Colours is a noun.
A noun is a type of word the meaning of which determines reality. Nouns provide the names for all things: people, objects, sensations, feelings, etc.
WHAT DOES COLOURS MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Color
Color or colour is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, blue, yellow, green and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates. Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain the psychophysical perception of color appearance. The science of color is sometimes called chromatics, chromatography, colorimetry, or simply color science.
Definition of colours in the English dictionary
The first definition of colours in the dictionary is the flag that indicates nationality. Other definition of colours is the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the colours. Colours is also a pair of silk flags borne by a military unit, esp British, comprising the Queen’s Colour showing the unit’s crest, and the Regimental Colour showing the crest and battle honours.

colours to the mast
Если вы nail your colours to the mast (показываете свои цвета на поднятом флаге), то это значит, что вы открыто и ясно, не опасаясь последствий, высказываете своё мнение. Сначала эти цвета имели флаг, знамя или штандарт, которые определяли национальную принадлежность боевого корабля. Если флаг был поднят на мачте корабля, это означало, что капитан не собирался сдаваться врагу и был готов сражаться до конца.
The government promised to reduce taxation. Having nailed its colours to the mast, it is under an obligation to do something. — Правительство пообещало уменьшить налоги. Объявив это открыто и определённо, оно обязано выполнить обещание.
