Colours are masculine in French when used as a noun, however when used as an adjective certain names of colours will change to accord with the subject whilst others are invariable. For example:

Le short est blanc
La chemise est blanche

Le short is masculine and we use "blanc" , whilst "La chemise" is feminine and we use "blanche".

However:

Le short est jaune
La chemise est jaune

Here the short and shirt are "jaune", yellow, but jaune is invariable.

Becareful with the spelling of "bleu" for blue.
