Idioms are a group of words or phrases that have a well-established and well-known figurative meaning. As a result, these words cannot be taken literally because they would sound farcical. Idioms can also appear grammatically unusual at time. It is usually figurative and is difficult to understand based solely on the words in the phrase. It is usually necessary to have a prior understanding of how it is used. Idioms are essential to the development of language. They function in ways that literal meanings cannot in many cases. We use them all the time, sometimes without even realizing that what we're saying is meaningless without the implied and widely accepted meaning. Some examples of Colour idioms are, Beet red meaning, dark red (usually to describe face) Black and blue meaning, bruised and beaten Black and white meaning, straight forward, very clear Black out meaning, faint.
