Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、美术与设计、商品描述 color 作名词表示“颜色、色彩”时属于中性词，日常口语和书面语都常见，通常不带有明显正式或随意的语体色彩。多用于描述物品外观、艺术与设计讨论以及商品说明等场合；若表示“肤色”，需结合语境谨慎使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhyme: duller (/ˈdʌlɚ/). Useful lookalikes: collar, dollar, holler — all have similar spellings but are pronounced with /ɑ/ in US English, not /ʌ/, so they do not rhyme with color.
