why is "une violette ceinture" correctly placed

Question

The quiz asked me to find correctly placed adjectives and I thought colors are supposed to go after the noun? Unless there is a exception here i missed.

Bonjour Jan,
You're right: "une violette ceinture" is incorrect. I checked the test questions from this lesson and it is recorded as such. You may have read your Results board incorrectly.
Je porte une ceinture violette = I am wearing a purple belt
Je suis ceinture verte = I am a green belt (judo/martial arts etc)
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Salut Jan,The only situation that comes to my mind would be when the term relates to a rank.By rank I have in mind the belt rank (level) in some Martial Arts for example. Bonne journéeJim

This is the most annoying part of the quiz. I can't do 100% on A0 because of this topic haha! too much unfamiliar vocabulary

Bonjour Michael,I can understand your frustration. French has quite a few of these exceptions and unfamiliar vocabulary can make it tougher. The more practice, the easier it will be ;-)Bonne journée !
