Even though Turkey Turkish has some parts that are lacking and need to be completed, it has Dictionary of Colors in Turkish (Eminoğlu, 2014), which contains a notable vocabulary consisting of 7,158 items. Color names in the frame of basic vocabulary which are one of the elements that enrich the language it belongs to, have not been examined in Turkish in terms of their use with compound verbs, though; they are discussed and examined within the framework of nomenclature. Thus, this study has focused on and evaluated in detail which compound verbs colors are used with in Historical Turkish dialects and their usage characteristics.
