Abstract
In the present paper, an analysis is made of the colour names offered for the different shades and hues of the white palette of Dulux paints in English and Polish. The names are created by associations with colour names within the colour category WHITE but also with other domains of human experience, which are positively and naturally valued. The symbolism of the colour term is also reflected in some exemplars.
