Color nouns and adjectives

Since speakers of Jéyûng are not human, they have a different perception of color than us. Couple that with the fact that natural languages create different color systems even among humans, and you get a picture of how linguistic color systems can varry. This article is dedicated to the ways Jéyûng expresses color.

The Jéyûng color space was first modeled by Dr. Anarö coro Mana in 30XX. Coro Mana was a cryptopictologist and painter part of the DEEZ movement. His works span a variety of subjects, including: color theory, playwriting, painting, cryptolinguistics, discrete mathematics and interpretative dancing. He spent most of his life in goo form, only taking human form to publish his numerous writings, contributing to the legends surrounding his personnal life and character.
This article is based on his book Wön bodûm ûn cécöchang on Jéyûng, wherein he describes with great precision the colors both the perceptual color system of the Jéyûng people but also the way it is represented in the langugage as well as numerous references to their symbolism in Jéyûng art throughout time. The figure bellow is a direct exctract from that book that we decided to include as it is widely considered to be a reference in cryptopictolinguistics.
