Thank you for the list, @Włoskipolak 72 , however, like Awwal12 pointed out, I am indeed interested in basic colours.
I still appreciate it very much, because I’m taking my first steps in the Polish language.

For red:

Cheers, Roxxxannne! But like I just told Włoskipolak 72, it’s basic, general colours that I’m concerned with right now, not the more or less wide array of varying hues that all languages naturally have.
But since you brought not only red and pink into the equation, but purple and violet, as well, that gives me the opportunity to say that, for some strange reason, I’ve never considered the latter as one of those basic colours, with purple being good enough for both.
And yet, when it comes to the colours of a rainbow, for instance, I invariably see violet is the favored term, and indigo is mentioned, as well, alongside blue, whereas to me, both of them would simply be blue!

True. But well, in Spanish you can use celeste for light blue and turquí for the dark one:

Los colores del cordón de seda que sujete la medalla serán los siguientes: turquí y morado, para la Escuela general preparatoria; turquí y verde mar, para las de Comercio; rojo, celeste y turquí, para las Normales​

Turquí shouldn’t be confused with turquesa or aturquesado, for the greenish blue.

We’ve also got zarco (or garzo) for the light almost whitish blue, specially for waters and eyes.

alejarse de aquel hombre cuyos ojos zarcos brillaban como cristales con fuego​

​

There is cerúleo too, defined as the colour of a clear sky or the open sea.

Se ponía el sol de abril en un cielo cerúleo y limpio.​

Granted that they are usually reserved for literature, but hey, they exist.

I am well aware such hues and shades of different colours exist in Spanish, far be it from me to pretend they don’t , but once more, it’s not really such things that I’m interested in for now, but just basic, general colours.
So, for instance, I know all those shades of blue that you mentioned in Spanish, though, admittedly, I’d forgotten about zarco, but if asked about the colour of, say, some atoll’s coast in the Pacific, the sky on a clear, cloudless day, that of the French flag, a sapphire’s and that of , I would more than likely just say azul, unless for some reason I wanted (or had) to be more specific.

For some reason, Spanish preferred the Arabic azul to the Germanic blao which, unlike other colours, didn’t really survive the Middle Ages.

Tomaron a Maria Lopes de Liendo una capa de blao apreçiada en çiento e treynta e tres maravedis.

You know, I did wonder if the Germanic colour designation had ever made its way into Spanish’s vocabulary! But yeah, azul had the last laugh there, as it did in Portuguese and Galician, too.

The Welsh chameleon — glas /gla:s/.

Meanings: ‘blue’, ‘green’, ‘grey’, ‘silver’.

Now that’s quite a chameleon, to be sure, and I am quite a dunce for forgetting about that one, which I’d already come across!
I knew about the ‘blue’ and ‘green’ meanings, thanks to Gareth King’s Modern Welsh Dictionary, which states its meaning as «blue», but adds the following:

«! glas is also used to refer to the green of vegetation; in this use it is much more restricted, though of common occurrence in place names.»

But I had no idea it could also mean ‘grey’ and ‘silver’.
