好きな色は何ですか Sukina iro wa nan desu ka. - What is your favorite color?
Japanese people often says SOME color names using the english pronounciation.
So, orange becomes orenji, black - buraku, white - hoaito, pink - pinku, gray - gurei, so it goes.
I already saw the gray color reffered as nezumi iro or literally mice color too !
well, hope it helps !
