Abstract
Color terms represent an important component of language, reflecting not only physical perception but also cultural, emotional, and symbolic meanings. This article explores the role of color terms in English phraseology and paremiology, focusing on how colors function in idiomatic expressions and proverbs. It analyzes the semantic, stylistic, and cultural aspects of color usage, demonstrating that colors carry metaphorical meanings beyond their literal sense.
