List of Words to Describe Colors

Most of life is full of color, from the great outdoors to commercial malls. When writing, it can be difficult to capture all the colors of the rainbow. From time to time, it’s okay to pepper our writing with generic words like “bright” or “colorful.” But, what if we could do better?

What if we provided commentary on flaming leaves and monochromatic skies? Sounds a little more interesting, right? Read on to enjoy a list of words to describe colors. Let’s see if any of them will pop up in your next piece of writing.

204 Words That Describe Colours - A Resource For Writers

This post includes interesting facts about colours and a selection of words writers can use to describe colours.

Writers use the five senses when they write. We are able to see, smell, hear, taste, and touch exactly what the characters in the story experience.

I have written about words that describe tastetouchsound, and smell in previous posts.

One of the best ways to describe what we see is through colour and in this post, I have included words that describe colours.

Note: ‘colour’ is British spelling and ‘color’ is American spelling.

What Is Colour?

Collins Dictionary says: ‘The colour of something is the appearance that it has as a result of the way in which it reflects light.’

The visible spectrum of colour as we see it, consists of seven main colours:

Source: Colour Therapy

But we can only see three of these visible colours: red, blue, green. These three colours are mixed in our brain to create all of the other colours we see.

Colour Affects Us

Colour affects our moods. For example, blue is calm, red is aggressive, pink suppresses anger and anxiety, bright yellow is the most irritating colour because of its excessive stimulation on the eye. Colours also affect consumers.

According to Sally Augustin in an article in Psychology Today, research has shown the “powers” of particular colours.

She writes about five colours:

  1. “Green: Seeing the colour green has been linked to more creative thinking—so greens are good options for home offices, art studios, etc.
  2. Red: People seeing others in front of red backgrounds generally find those other individuals are more attractive than when they see them silhouetted against other colours, so reds are great for a bedroom wall. Having a red surface in view also gives us a burst of strength, so reds are good choices for home gym areas, etc. Seeing red has been linked to impaired analytical reasoning, though, making it a bad option for offices.
  3. Violet: People link a greyish violet with sophistication, so it can be a good selection for places where you’re trying to make the “right” impression.
  4. Yellow: Using yellow in a home can be problematic. Many people dislike the colour, so if you have a lot of yellow rooms in your home or a yellow front door, you may be advised to repaint to get the best price for your home should you sell. An exception: Many people use yellow in kitchens—with no negative sales repercussions. Yellow may be accepted in kitchens because warm colours stimulate our appetite.
  5. Blue: People are more likely to tell you that blue is their favourite colour than any other shade. That makes it a safe choice. Seeing blue also brings thoughts of trustworthiness to mind; always a good thing.”
Writing Tips
  1. A character who lives in a colourful home is very different to one who lives in a monochromatic home. The use of colour can help you to show who the characters are.
  2. A colour-blind character can add an interesting twist to a story.
  3. A character with chromophobia has an irrational fear of colours. This can stop them from performing daily activities and can affect their lives.
  4. A bleak, grey setting works well for a crime scene. A sepia-tinged setting works for memoirs. A vivid setting works well for romance. Use colours to set the mood for your books.

Adjectives characterizing a person from the good side

Heading: For every day

Here is the most complete list of adjectives that positively characterize a person. The list does not include obscene words and words that are professional terms used by a narrow circle of people for professional purposes (not in colloquial speech).

The list does not include such words as: “beautiful”, “blue-eyed”, “stately”, “slender” and the like. They describe appearance, but (although they are adjectives used to describe a person) they are not related to character and are unable to shed light on personality traits.

Please note: the list contains words that can be both an adjective and participle (depending on the context in which the word is used at any given time).

Also, remember that some words are neutral in color and characterize a person from the good side only depending on the context in which it is used. But in the same way, it can be used not as a characteristic of positive personality traits, but simply as a statement of fact (without a specific coloring).

        Want to say something nice to your beloved, but don't know how? Actually it's not that difficult.

        What would you say?

        It is not for nothing that people say that the right adjectives that characterize a girl can truly work wonders. They will help not only those who are afraid of the cooling of relations, but also people who are just thinking about starting a romantic relationship. But what to do if you are not one of the talkative ones, or if the creative mood quickly took to its heels, taking with it the remnants of fantasy? Don't worry, everything you need to succeed is already here. So just take this knowledge and use it wisely.

        A word of caution: don't use overly complex adjectives. The composition and bulkiness of the word can not only surprise, but also shock a person. Although the use of such epithets as "angelic beautiful" or "graceful-sexy" is not forbidden. The main thing is to avoid falsehood and use compliments appropriately. Not all the words that you said to a past lover are suitable for a new acquaintance. Let's dwell on this in more detail.

        What to say when making a new acquaintance?

        All adjectives that characterize a girl from the positive side must be inserted wisely. Too many epithets will most likely make your new acquaintance wary, thinking about whether you really want to just find a girlfriend for one night. Therefore, moderate your ardor. Compliments should be soft, neatly screwed into the fabric of the conversation. For example, instead of “I admire your forms, and your walk is just oh, legs like a doe,” you can say: “You rarely meet a girl who knows how to take care of herself so well. ” Feel the contrast?
