Color Concept Sphere in Linguistic Intercultural Communication

The phenomenon of color is an object of study of various sciences: physics, psychology, medicine, ethnology, cultural studies, philosophy, aesthetics and linguistics, which testifies to the complexity and multidimensionality of this phenomenon. The variety of colors that is perceived by the human visual system is called the color spectrum (color space, color continuum). Human perception of the color space is arranged so that a continuous continuum of colors is divided into categories that combine a large number of similar color shades, and each such category corresponds to one or several words, color naming, in which a color image is objectified. This work deals with the study of color vocabulary in the linguo-cognitive aspect. The nominations of the color spectrum have long been studied by linguists. A large number of linguistic works deal with the study of color-meaningful words from different positions and on the material of different languages.
