Summary/Abstract: Color is one of the artistic means, by which text can be perceived as an artistic whole. The aim of this paper is to analyze the names of colors used to describe human space in Way to nowhere by Alexander Grin. The color nominations refer to description of human external appearance and clothing. They are expressed by one-word names (красный, белый), names derived from them (покраснеть, почернеть) and compound words (черноволосый, черноусый). In order to define the human color space, the author used 137 lexemes, which belong to serval color fields: красный, белый, черный, серый, желтый, синий and зеленый. Undoubtedly, all of them express national and individual priorities.
