A Color serves as a landmark in color-space, either a point-like landmark (e.g. <ment>burnt sienna</ment>) or a broader region (e.g. <ment>blue</ment>). Especially when the Color designates a broad region in color-space, it may be defined with a specific Type, further specified by comparison to the color of a Comparand, modified by a Color_qualifier, or evaluated with a Descriptor. All color words are generally used to specify the color of some (physical) Entity. I really like that shade of blue. The welts on his side had already <m>turned</m> an angry red. The room was bathed in a soft pink light. They promptly set up a zillion bright vermilion pavilions. His face and hands <m>were</m> brown from a life spent in the bright sun of the fields.
