This paper attempts a reconstruction of the development of Somali basic color terminology, drawing on both synchronic (morphologic) and diachronic (semantic derivational) data. The findings bear on Berlin and Kay's theory of the evolution of color classification systems. Some specific and general issues raised by Somali in this connection are discussed, as well as the importance of the use of internal linguistic evidence to support experimental data in this domain. The concluding remarks address the interaction of the universal perceptual bases of color categorization and cultural and historical factors that may affect color lexicons.
