What the hell is

[CanadianGuitarist]

Using a colour to describe an emotion, say green with envy or tickled pink?

 

Doesn't it have a name? I keep wanting to say onomatopoiea, but I realise isn't it.

I've never heard a term for it...

 

I guess it'd just be an example of idiom.

Is it more specific than just an idiom?

Is there a broad term for colour idioms?

I guess just "color idioms"
