The 'Hay' Rule
Hay + un/una + [object]
To say 'There is a...', you always start with the word 'Hay'. Then you add 'un' or 'una' and the object.
The Color Rule (Adjective Placement)
[Object] + [Color]
In Spanish, the color comes AFTER the object. Think 'bench brown' instead of 'brown bench'. The color describes the object.
