Note that some particular shades may be described in Chlouvānem with a different colour than the one used in English. For example, dark green shades are described as being ''kāmila'' (blue) rather than ''rādhās'' (green). Forests are described as being either blue or green, but the "blue forest" typically refers to the forest as a whole, while the "green forest" focusses on the plants and trees and their growth; the concept of "growth" (and "birth") being associated with the colour green is also the reasoning behind green being considered in Chlouvānem culture, even today, the most feminine colour.<br/>Very dark shades of warm colours are often indistinctly called ''murka'' (black), while dark shades of blue (navy blue, Prussian blue, Delft blue) are also sometimes grouped with black or blue, but more commonly with ''mulda'' (violet); at the other end, beige and cream are often grouped as shades of white, as ''haurpāṇḍa'' ("brown-white") and ''chlirāpāṇḍa'' ("golden yellow-white") respectively. | |||
