Colours

The basic colour terms are all verbs:

Both light and dark blue and covered by baju ばよ blue, as well as the darkest violets, and all but the lightest shades of green. Standard yellow is sa さ yellow, which also covers the lightest shades of orange and green. All of red and pink, light purples and most of the orange spectrum is referred to as miku みく red, however, dark orange is subsumed under millu みっを brown.

The figure above shows which shades are referred to by which term. White and light grey are kiʔa きっあ, as opposed to ga が black for darker shades.

All colour terms can be compounded to refer to specific hues.
