Abstract

The article explores the historical and cultural significance of color perception and symbolism, tracing its evolution from ancient literature to modern semiotics. It highlights key contributions from figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Goethe, and discusses the foundational work of Berlin and Kay on basic color terms, which categorize colors into universally understood concepts. The article emphasizes that colors carry different meanings across cultures, with specific examples illustrating how colors like black and white can symbolize contrasting emotions and concepts, such as death and purity. Additionally, it examines the linguistic aspects of color terminology in Georgian poetry, noting how colors are used to evoke emotions and convey deeper meanings within cultural contexts.
