Great to have this idea of a "word a day" and I had to laugh that your teacher kicked this off with a colour idiom ;-) He's so colourful!!!
A lot of my students love http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ - they have a quick look when they can and always seem to spot something useful. have you tried that? What's your favourite online dictionary?
There are so many great resources it's difficult to chose, isn't it?
