How to teach colors?

I know how to teach him the alphabet and numbers, but I am stuck on colors. Outside of holding up construction paper and naming the color, I just don't know. He refers to EVERYTHING as either YEDDOW or PUPLE. He knows there are other colors, but he can't get him to identify them. Help please!

    At daycare, each kid has a colored shape on their things.  You might be able to do something similar at home, but with different places in the house designated with a colored shape-like a blue circle in the bathroom, green triangle in the kitchen, etc..  You could make a scavenger hunt type of game out of it- -  Go find the green triangle!

    DD learned hers through color books, where each page is a differnt color with different objects on it, as well as a puzzle from Target that has shpes adn each shape is a different color, so I would say find the red traingle and emphasize the color of each shape.  or if she holds up a block, I tell her PURPLe block, I name a color before I say the object.  She isnt eve 2 yet and knows about 5 or 6 colors just from labeling

    I taught DS his colors by coloring with him. I would pick out the crayons & say the color. Then I would ask him to get me the colors I asked for.
