show your true colors
Welcome to English in a minute!
American English has a lot of color related idioms.
SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS
Did you hear Kevin screaming at the new guy yesterday?
Uh, yes.
How could I not hear it?
I had always thought Kevin was so calm and so nice!
I had, too.
But then yesterday, he blew up when I asked him a simple question.
I think our friend Kevin is starting to show his true colors.
A person who “shows their true colors” is revealing their real self to others.
And usually, what is revealed is not good.
The saying comes from pirates.
They would fly a flag suggesting their ship was friendly.
But just as they got close enough to attack another ship, they would raise their pirate flag.
And that’s English in a minute!
