Why is איזה used here?
איזה means which or what kind of.
In this sentence, it goes with צבע, which is a masculine singular noun, so איזה צבע means which color.
A useful thing to know:
- with a masculine singular noun, איזה is standard
- with a feminine singular noun, standard Hebrew often uses איזו
- in everyday spoken Hebrew, many people use איזה very broadly
Here, though, צבע is masculine, so איזה is exactly what you would expect.
Why is there no word for do, like in Which color do you like more?
