Abstract
From a phraseological perspective, colours are one of the domains most likely to be reinterpreted. The chromatic phraseological units obtained from this process contain an important evocative force. Beside their potential chromatic motivation, they convey, to different degrees, the cultural and idiosyncratic conventions established by the speech community that created them. In fact, chromatisms are at the same time the reflection of a universal ontological perception and the result of an ethnolinguistic conventionalisation inherent to each language. Through this contrastive study between French and Spanish phraseological units containing a chromatic word, we highlight the convergences and divergences between the chromatisms created by these close speech communities.
