    my teacher says that yellow should be 黄色 (kiiro) and brown should be 茶色 (chairo) because they are nouns.

    Very nice, but it would be nice it this list also including the kanji.

    Some of the romaji was incorrect, like there is no "hu", "zi" or "tya" (because they are pronounced slightly differently). BUT thank you for giving a list of these.
