toki !
I think i've found a new way to say colors :
Green : kule kasi / kule sama kasi (plant color)
Orange : kule seli / kule sama seli (fire color)
Brown : kule jaki / kule sama jaki (fire color)
Grey: kule mun / kule sama mun (moon color)
Is this possible ?
Another way to say colors ?
Re: Another way to say colors ?
This way to describe colors is used by the Pirahã.

In Toki Pona is this possible but I prefer to use the words for colors. Maybe you can use your way for poems. For example:
kule ni li lukin sama seli.

If we speak this way, it could be another minimising of vocabulary.jan Samon wrote:toki !

Re: Another way to say colors ?
Yes, but do we need to do this? (I note that no one -- even me -- has complained in three years about translating ‘kule (sama) jaki’ as “flame colored” rather than “shit colored”. and 'kule pi sama..’). To be sure, it is nice to have words for some off-prime colors, like brown and gray (though there are words in the unused words list and the various color combinations do help a bit).
