Color is one of the artistic means, by which text can be perceived as an artistic whole. The aim of this paper is to analyze the names of colors used to describe human space in Way to nowhere by Alexander Grin. The color nominations refer to description of human external appearance and clothing. They are expressed by one-word names (красный, белый), names derived from them (покраснеть, почернеть) and compound words (черноволосый, черноусый). In order to define the human color space, the author used 137 lexemes, which belong to serval color fields: красный, белый, черный, серый, желтый, синий and зеленый. Undoubtedly, all of them express national and individual priorities.

The object of the analysis are achromatic color names in Scarlet sails of Alexander Grin. Color expressions are an inseperable part of the world description. The researched material provides valuable information about the models of perception, association and interpretation of the world presented in the novel. The field of black color is represented by adjectives, such as, черный, почерневший, the field of white is represented by lexemes белый, белизна, белокурый, белевший, серебряный, and field of grey – by lexemes серый, седой, полуседой, стальной, серея, поседевший. These are relatively richly represented fields. The studied material shows that the writer mostly uses the achromatic color names in a conventional way and uses them to create the presented world. All three colors are mainly connected with semantic fields related to man and nature. The objects related to human environment and work are characterized by achromatic colors relatively rarely.

The subject of this article are the linguistic exponents of the semantic field of blue, the analysis of which provides valuable information about the models of perception, association and interpretation of the world presented in the works of Alexander Grin. The novels Scarlet Sails, She Who Runs on the Waves, The Road to Nowhere, The Golden Chain and The Treasure of the African Mountains form the material basis of the research conducted. In the analyzed novels of Alexander Grin the semantic field of blue is represented by both basic names used to describe this color – синий (54 uses) and голубой (47 uses). The writer uses the blue colour most often in a conventional way and uses it to create the world presented. Blue is primarily associated with semantic fields such as “human” (33 uses), “artifacts” (26 uses), “water” (13 uses), and “air and weather phenomena” (10 uses). The excerpted material shows that it is relatively rare for the colour blue to characterize objects associated with light phenomena (5 uses), landforms (4 uses), flora (3 uses), fauna (3 uses), sky and stars (3 uses) and food (1 use).
