Jump to navigation Jump to search

The system of colours in Aoma derives from the eight elemental words to which some colours are related. The colour noun is formed with the udoi (colour) and the elemental component (columns) possible followed by the shade indicator (geshire "natural", jule "soft" and kyrre "vibrant"): udoi iwari jule (colour of soft light) which is also known as himari (Him-colour, metallic silver).
