Sažetak
In the present study, we assume that color terms, as components of phraseological units, contribute to the meaning of the whole figurative unit in two ways: (1) through their denotative lexical meaning ; (2) through their symbolic and/or cultural potential. We examine the phraseological subsystem of Russian and German, and then perform a comparative phraseological analysis. The main aim of this research is to systematically depict the main features of Russian and German color phraseology, to determine how much of the basic lexical meaning color components bring into the formation of the phraseological meaning, and to which extent the symbolism of colors has influenced the formation of that meaning.
