The article discusses phraseological units with components –names of color: black and white. An attempt was made to present the diversity of the semantics of phraseological units with each of the two colors, to describe the types of relations between the cultural component of phraseological units and the component-name of the color. Patterns of manifestation of the meanings of each color and the presence or absence of contrast in the semantics are revealed.
