Time, Numbers & Colors in Italian
Numbers, days, and times are what you need to book a table, catch a train, or make plans. Italians often use the 24-hour clock for schedules, and the days of the week and months are not capitalized. Colors are adjectives, so many change their ending to match the noun.
