brancas

Brancas is the feminine plural form of the Portuguese adjective branco, meaning white. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns, as in flores brancas (white flowers) and paredes brancas (white walls). The term also appears in phrases with feminine nouns where the color is a defining property, and, as with other Portuguese color adjectives, its position relative to the noun can vary for emphasis, though the standard order places the adjective after the noun in most neutral descriptions.

Etymology: Brancas derives from branco, which itself comes from Latin origins (blancus/albus), reflecting the color white

Usage: In everyday language and literature, brancas is common in color descriptions, clothing, architecture, and nature.
