The paper intends to present a colourful image of continental Portugal, based on 62 inhabited place names found on the Portuguese territory in which exists a reference to any colour. The studied toponymes, collected in their majority from indexes of two cartographic sources, are analysed from eti-mological-semantic and formal point of view (corresponding, respectively, to division according to colour and classification in three groups: simple colour names, derivatives from colour names and composed names). The final considerations contain conclusions resulting from the analysis, accompanied by a provisory map illustrating some of indicated phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
