Common mistakes

Not natural: The wall is aquamarine color.

Better: The wall is aquamarine.

Aquamarine already names the color, so color is unnecessary after it.

Aquamarine खुद रंग का नाम है, इसलिए इसके बाद color लगाना ज़रूरी नहीं है।

Not natural: She bought a aquamarine scarf.

Better: She bought an aquamarine scarf.

Use an before aquamarine because its first sound is a vowel sound.

Aquamarine की शुरुआत vowel sound से होती है, इसलिए इसके पहले a नहीं, an लगाएँ।
