Summary/Abstract: In this article we will try to demonstrate, on the one hand, the richness of the vocabulary with respect to the formulas created on the basis of a colour name and, on the other hand, to analyse the extent to which the word maintains its original significance if it becomes part of such formulas when used to characterize a person or an object.Thus, the research questions we want to answer in this article are the following: we want to know if colour terms and phrases formed using these colour terms are used to characterize people or objects and if there is a difference according to the semantic-syntactic features such as [+human] and [-human] in the meaning of terms that express colour.
