I don't know Spanish, so I don't know the implication of the Spanish, and I wonder if native English speakers ever really would say something like your current sentence.

Note that "The colors aren't adequate." only shows this tatoeba.org sentence in a google search.

"The colors aren't adequate."
https://www.google.co.jp/search...20adequate.%22


These other 2 get other google hits.
"The colors aren't suitable."
https://www.google.co.jp/search...t+suitable.%22

"The colors aren't appropriate."
https://www.google.co.jp/search...ppropriate.%22

I agree with CK. I think "suitable" is a better translation, or even better change it to active voice: "These colors don't fit."
