Re: Elvish for Color

> I have been trying to find an elvish word for color or hue, and cannot find one in the dictionary, phrasebook or quenya wordlist. I have difficulty believing that a concept as basic as 'color' has no elvish translation. What have you been using? Surely, at some point, someone here has had to use a word that means color or hue.

I don't know of anyone who's done so. Perhaps 'kalad,' a cross between 'kal,' light, and 'galad,' radiance (which is itself derived from 'kal')? Or perhaps 'untupa,' Quenya for concealment/cover (color's origin being from the Latin for 'conceal')?
