Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to bring a fresh approach upon the symbolic connotation of colours as they are reflected in tourism and travelling vocabulary. I have chosen the semantic field of colours because they are very frequently used especially to convey certain meanings. In order to broaden our insight into the cognitive motivations behind colour idiomatic phrases and expressions we referred to a wide range of sources. Miscellaneous information will be collated from both academic and non-academic sources, travelling reviews and blogs, folk beliefs or social media.
