## Color Words
L'ewa uses a RGB color system like computers. The basic colors are red, green
and blue, with some other basic ones for convenience:
| English | L'ewa |
| ------- | ------ |
| blue | blanu |
| red | delja |
| green | qalno |
| yellow | yeplo |
| teal | te'ra |
| pink | hetlo |
| black | xekri |
| white | pu'ro |
| 50% gray | flego |
Colors will be mixed by creating compound words between base colors. Compound
words still need to be fleshed out, but generally all CVCCV words will have
wordparts made out of the first, second and fifth letter, unless the vowel pair
is illegal and all CCVCV words are the first, second and fifth letter unless
this otherwise violates the morphology rules. Like I said though, this really
needs to be fleshed out and this is only a preview for now.
For example a light green would be `puoqa'o` (`pu'lo qalno`, white-green).
