The Dictionary of Colors and Colored Words is the world's only true and comprehensive collection of lexically verifiable colors and colored words!
With this dictionary, individuals and professionals alike including academics, advertisers, architects, artists, beauticians, colorists, colormen, craftsmen, decorators, designers, entrepreneurs, fashionistas, illustrators, innovators, marketers, painters, scientists, students and others now have anytime access to a credible, trusted, and reliable lexical partner to help in engaging, exploring, discovering, learning, maneuvering, referencing, trafficking, verifying and working within and around the world of color, colors, and colored words.
This colorific repository, which has well over 500 lexically verifiable individual colors which are mostly defined in their actual colors and spread over 400 pages strong, is organized and presented in abecedarian format and includes three special bonus sections: Nouns Only, Adjectives Only, and Verbs Only. Some of the entries, which span almost every area, discipline, or field, also include parenthesized boldfaced guidance as to where they are primarily used, as in anthropology, art, astronomy, biology, botany, broadcasting, cartography, chemistry, color science, computer games, computer graphics, computing, crystallography, data visualization, dentistry, dermatology, digital imaging, electronics, entomology, gemology, graphic arts, image editing, lithography, mathematics, medicine, meteorology, mineralogy, ophthalmology, optics, ornithology, painting, pathology, physics, psychology, photoengraving, photography, printing, publishing, television, urology, visual arts, and zoology.
Additionally, most colors and certain colored words are assigned a six-digit alphanumeric hexadecimal code (hex code) that allows for precise color comparison, matching, classification, confirmation or reproduction on any digital platform or elsewhere.
