Colors

zino is used to speak about the color A of thing E, perceived by O (which defaults to the opiner/bzael). It purposefully speaks about the perception of color and not “the real color of the object”. For exemple if a white object is only lit with a red light, it will be perceived red by the observer (unless they are color blind).

The words for the colors themselves follow the pattern zmXr and are based on the HSV coordinate system. Colors represent a main coordinate and a range of close coordinates that are considered to be similar enough (TODO: specify such acceptable range).

  • zmir: E is color white
  • zmer: E is color red-ish
  • zmar: E is color green-ish
  • zmor: E is color blue-ish
  • zmur: E is color black

Words for red/green/blue above are very broad if proper hue precision is unnecessary, but more precise colors can be expressed by following the same pattern while combining the vowels :

zmire and zmure allows to speak about ligher (less saturated) and darker (less value) colors.
