elle change de couleur

Why "de couleur" ? I would have expected "la couleur" or "de la couleur".

Hi Frank,

This is verb 'changer de quelque chose' -

changer de place = swap places ( with someone)

changer de chemise = to put on a new shirt

changer de route = to go a different way

None of them take an article, it is just the way it is.

Bonne Continuation!
