In the category of green, the term kenashiri is constructed from a phytonym; matsiriari and natsiriari, from the aspect of abnormal coloration in the skin, and eereki and eerepa, from the coloration of the fruits when they sprout. Likewise, in the category of blue, asoriri is a hispanism and kamachonkari is constructed from the perception of the appearance of an entity or its color with a low degree of brightness.
