Hello, I'm SASYA.
I live in Osaka. The other day, I went to see the lit-up Osaka Castle.
In the evening, the sky was orange.
Between the buildings, I could see the castle shining red.
Between the buildings, I could see the castle shining red.
When night came, the castle looked even more vivid.There are also days when it's lit up in blue.
It was very beautiful.
Here are the words I used that day.
■ Color words
あおい (blue) / あかい (red)
Example: おしろが あおく ひかっています。
(The castle is shining blue.)
Example: おしろが あかく ひかっています。
(The castle is shining red.)
* The form changes: 「あおい おしろ」 (before a noun) and 「あおく ひかる」 (before a verb).
■ ゆうやけ (sunset)
Example: ゆうやけが きれいですね。
(The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?)
■ ライトアップ (lit up at night)
Example: おしろが ライトアップされています。
(The castle is lit up.)
■ ～に かわる (to change into ～)
Example: おしろの いろが あおから あかに かわりました。
(The castle's color changed from blue to red.)
■ ～と ～、どちらが すきですか？ (Which do you like, ～ or ～?)
Example: あおい おしろと あかい おしろ、どちらが すきですか？
(Which do you like, the blue castle or the red castle?)
Answer: わたしは あかい おしろが すきです。
(I like the red castle.)
■ Summary
Learning color words makes it much easier to talk about scenery.
Try adding 「あかく ひかっていますね」 (It's shining red, isn't it?) to your 「きれいですね」.
