    Hello,
    once again, a dictionary would answer you.
    For example , a double click on colour gives this: On top of the French translation, there is a synonym and an example.

    off colour adj informal (unwell) fam patraque adj
    I haven't gone to work today as I'm feeling off colour.

    Hello...

    She impressed me no end = she impressed me greatly ("no end" is an intensifier in British slang and means 'without limits')
    Go to incredible lengths = to take a lot of trouble (to do something)
