Summary/Abstract: The idea of color evolved step by step with the development of civilization. In the most archaic societies, it was light and darkness that received a verbal layout. The next stage is the "variegated -colorless" opposition. The idea of “color in general" often develops in connection with the idea of "skin color". In the historical development of languages, particularly dye ware gives impetus to the development of color terminology. Bright, saturated colors are highly valued and colorful is perceived as beautiful. Pigments and colors are related to the culture and around the color names cultural circles could be circumscribed that contain common elements.
