Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to isolate and characterize linguistic expressions with components of color names contained in the novel „Bambino” by Inga Iwasiów. In the article is used a linguistic and stylistic method of analysis literary texts. It should first be noted that in the novel there is no a lot of color names. The most common color name is red (27x), then - white (25x), grey (17x), black (12x) and green (10x). Other names of the colors have been used less than ten times. In the novel „Bambino” names of colors were used - mostly - in the contexts established in the Polish culture. The key word is the gray color which takes particular importance in the analyzed novel. Other colors - even appearing occasionally - are important for the creation of the world presented in the novel.
