The paper aims at presenting the set of vocabulary from the field of green colour and analysing its semantic value. The selected lexical material represents ten short stories by Vladimir Nabokov: The Wood-Sprite, Russian Spoken Here, Sounds, Wingstroke, Gods, Word, The Seaport, Revenge, Beneficence and A Matter of Chance. In the article, the main attention is focused on describing the way in which the writer creates the world in his literary texts. As it is shown, colours are indispensable part of Nabokov’s prose. The distribution of the green colour and modification of its shades as well as the use of green colour in metonymic expressions testify to the Nabokov’s idea that there is no “generic difference between poetry and artistic prose”.

The analysis of color names provides valuable information about the models of perception, association and interpretation models of the world presented in a literary work. The main porpuose of his paper is to reconstruct a fragment of the color picture of the world of the outstanding Russian writer Aleksander Grin. The subject of analysis are the names of colors used by the novel’s author to describe inanimate nature objects, which can be divided into three classes: 1) surface water, 2) surface and rocky ground, 3) air and weather phenomena. Aleksander Grin uses in his novels numerous color names to create pictures of inanimate nature, which represent four fields of chromatic colours: blue, green, red and yellow, and three fields of achromatic colors: white, black and grey. The words, referring to colours, used in the analysed works are represented by different parts of speech – not only adjectives (15 lexems), but also nouns (6), adverbs (1), verbs (2) and participles (2).
