Annotation: This article examines the theoretical foundations of studying color in language. The main approaches to the study of color vocabulary are analyzed, including cognitive, linguacultural and psycholinguistic aspects. Particular attention is paid to the role of color in the formation of the linguistic picture of the world, the reflection of cultural values and the influence on cognitive processes. Various theories explaining the universality and specificity of color designations in different languages and cultures are considered. The problem of color designations is constantly under the close attention of many domestic and foreign linguists, who used various approaches in its study. Color names were studied from the point of view of their etymology and historical development, system approach, symbolism, semantic structure, using psycho- and ethnopsycholinguistic approaches. A number of researchers were engaged in the consideration of names with the meaning of color in terms of comparison, the features of their functioning in artistic and folklore works, as well as in the composition of phraseological units were studied.

Keywords: color, color vocabulary, linguistic picture of the world, cognitive linguistics, linguacultural studies, psycholinguistics, color universals, cultural connotations, color metaphors, color symbols.
