This article examines the diachronic evolution of color perception vocabulary in English and Uzbek, two linguistically and culturally distinct languages. By tracing historical shifts and expansions in color terminology, we reveal how each language developed its set of basic color terms and extended meanings. We explore cultural and anthropological dimensions – for instance, how English and Uzbek communities imbue colors with symbolism (white for purity, black for mourning, etc.) – and how such associations influence linguistic structure. The study also analyzes metaphorical usages (e.g., blue for sadness in English, oq yo'l “white path” for a blessed journey in Uzbek), etymologies of color terms (such as orange from the fruit in English, or jigarrang “liver-colored” for brown in Uzbek), and the functional roles of color terms in discourse. The findings underscore that while English and Uzbek followed universal patterns in color-term development, each language’s color lexicon evolved under unique cultural influences.
