French! In fact, in French any adjective can be used as a noun, including
colors. I know that Arabic doesn't have a strong distinction between nouns and
adjectives either. And after all, if Amerindian languages can consider numbers
as verbs, and Comox can have a verb to translate 'what?', having nouns for
colours is not such a big step :)) .
