    Could you teach me why is this sentence a singular form?

    "Butterflies are naturally beautiful, but her wings were an exceptionally pretty marbled blue."


    I wonder why is this sentence should be " her wings were an exceptionally pretty marble blue."


    Butterflies have normally a pair of wings, so I think it should be " her wings were exceptionally pretty marble blue." , or "her wing was an exceptionally pretty marble blue."

    Can anybody teach me about this?

    Please let me add more question.

    For example,
    Singular form: Today is an exceptionally hot day.

    Plural form: These three days are exceptionally hot days.

    I'm wondering why did the author put "an" before the word " exceptionally pretty marble blue" .

    Can I say like this following sentence?
    "The oranges that I bought were an exceptionally sour. "

    An impulse buying I bought a bowl on impulse. I fell in love at first sight. (Is this sentence should be 'I bought a bowl on an impulse today.' ? I'm wondering if I need to put "an" front of impulse or not.) What should I cook to put in the first time? Pasta? An omlette? I guess, it must look good in this bowl, although my cooking wasn't improving. haha. Do you have anything that you have bought on impulse? :)
