AB - The chromatic color terms in Chinese neologisms have the following characteristics. First, the chromatic color terms in Chinese neologisms are red (hong), pink (fen), yellow (huang), blue (lan), green (lü), and blue or green (qing). Among these, pink is not often found in modern Chinese idioms, but its appearance is gradually increasing in newly coined Chinese words. Second, the basic meaning and extended meaning of the chromatic color terms in Chinese neologisms demonstrate differences in the frequencies depending on the color. With regard to the basic meaning, the chromatic color terms that are most frequently used are red (hong) and blue (lan); with regard to the extended meaning, the color terms with the highest frequency are pink (fen), yellow (huang), green(lü), and blue or green (qing). Third, among the chromatic color terms in Chinese neologisms, the phenomenon of meaning expansion is observed for the colors red,pink, yellow, and blue. For example, red is parallel to ‘China’; pink is parallel to ‘feeble’; yellow is parallel to ‘second most popular’; and blue is parallel to ‘ocean’ or ‘men.’
