Re: Designing Color words for your conlang
Not to be a "downer", but this seems to be a case of "colours have metaphorical meaning", as opposed to what seems to be more... common(?) amongst natlangs, that certain metaphorical meanings are attributed to colours (which still isn't universal).WesleyDeanT wrote: ↑02 Oct 2020 21:55 Come check out my videos and maybe get some ideas for your conlangs.

You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.
