Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to associative composite color names in the modern Russian language (on the material of the National Corps of the Russian Language). The constituent components of these lexemes are perfomed of colorative adjectives (their stems), which are formed from the names of fairly common realities. They call color using associative connections with them. Being independent linguistic units, these color names are often combined with the word цвет(а) (color), which, in our opinion, is due to the style of the text. The groups of nominations are distinguished depending on the type of their components and the kind of connection between them. The conclusion is made that coloratives of this category are in demand by native speakers of the Russian language and are widely used in speech practice.
