"It's color red" versus "It's colored red"
« on: January 16, 2019, 02:12:22 AM »
Hi sir Joe,

May I know your thought on the above topic?

I actually answered some random grammar queries in Quora, and one of these is with regard to the use of "It's" and "Its". However, another member posted his comment as you can see on the attached images.

Remember: We may know something but definitely not everything.

I think "'It's color red' versus 'It's colored red'" isn't worth arguing about. The first is colloquial; the second, grammatically conventional. The sense of both is indistinguishably the same.
