This article is devoted to the terminological description of lexical units with a component of color designation in modern medicine. The various terms for words and expressions with the meaning of color are considered. The features of the color designation of English medical terms and term elements of Greek - Latin origin are revealed. The system of color names and its main features are analyzed, chromatic and achromatic values of color are presented, and the name of plants in pharmacognosy in different languages with a component of color designation is presented. It is revealed that terms in English can change their semantics in the modern language of medicine. It is proved that the color in medical research can be an indicator of the physiological and pathological state of the organs and skin of the patient. The revealed semantic components are identified with conceptual features, and the coloristic nomination serves in this case for differentiation of clinical features, and not only for visual distinction of objects.
