520 |a Color descriptions depend on both culture and era. An explicit example consists in the Greek term melas which was used at the earliest stage of developing the Greek literature to describe various dark colors, as well as difficult mental states and negative emotions, whereas in the Hellenistic papyrus texts it was used in noun form to describe the writing material and pigment in painting.

The conducted study constitutes an attempt to solve methodological difficulties as well as an attempt to capture the elusive semantics and symbolism of the Greek chromatic system in biblical terms.
