Oranye/Jingga = Orange
Kuning = Yellow
Hijau = Green
Biru = Blue
Putih = White

Indonesians use the phrase "Mejiku Hibiniu" (Merah, Jingga, Kuning, Hijau, Biru, Nila, Unggu) to remember the colours of the rainbow, much like the British English 'Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain'.
Indonesian adjectives, such as colours, always come after the noun, as in 'Saya mau buku biru' or 'I want book blue'.
