Colors are adjectives and must agree with the nouns they modify; -o is the masculine ending, -a is the feminine ending. For example, rosso is masculine and rossa is feminine.  Color words always go after the noun they describe:

una casa gialla - a yellow house
il cubo rosso - the red cube

 

To ask the color of something:

Di che colore è il cielo? What color is the sky?
Di che colore sono i tuoi occhi? What color are your eyes?
