Sažetak
Since colour is a perceptive concept and liable to subjectivity, this article takes as the starting point the problem of naming colours in different languages, as well as the difficulties in understanding certain terms for colours among Croatian speakers. The article will analyse terms for colours and their lexicographical analysis in recent Croatian dictionaries, with special attention given to lexicographical definition. Since the article focuses on (1) newer terms for colours, that can not be found in the existing dictionaries, but also on (2) suggestions how to incorporate them into any future one-language dictionaries, first we needed to determine the origin and composition or syntactic structure of the terms for colours. In this respect, we analysed the collected list of newer terms for colours and reached conclusions on how to determine a (possible) place for the newer terms for colours in contemporary Croatian dictionaries.
