Abstract

The paper is focused on Hebrew and Greek Basic Color Terms (BCT) for white in the Bible. They are part of the Verbal color language that includes Prototype Terms (PT - light, milk, snow), Rivals Terms of prototypes (RT- linen), and Terms for Basic Features of the Prototype (TBFP - clean). The aggregation of all words is called mega-white, mega-
black, etc. The verbal and the visual colors differ. Verbal and visual colors are treated as the Cultural Unit Color, e.g. Cultural unit White.
