The article deals with lexico-semantic features of colour denotations in the Azerbaijani language. The concept of colour in the language, in particular, is used as a symbolic phenomenon; one can assert that linguists treat the etymological features of the colour concept with great interest. The article points out that the colour in the language is closely linked to the cultural heritage of the people, which is reflected in the works of the Asian poet Nizami Ganjavi. The association expressed by colour refers to the source of origin of a particular colour, which may be, for instance, a specific object or place. The meaning conveyed by colour carries a symbolic and emotional value in a specific socio-cultural context, providing the context for the literary work and its interpretation.
