rojo, adjective:
red

Rojo is a basic color term, and corresponds very closely to red.

una camisa roja
a red shirt

la carne roja
red meat

Remember that if you want to talk about the color red, you use the masculine rojo with el, as with all colors:

El rojo es mi color preferido.
Red is my favourite color.

No me gusta mucho el azul.
I don’t like blue very much.
