The paper intends to present a colourful image of continental Portugal, based on 62 inhabited place names found on the Portuguese territory in which exists a reference to any colour. The studied toponymes, collected in their majority from indexes of two cartographic sources, are analysed from etimological-semantic and formal point of view (corresponding, respectively, to division according to colour and classification in three groups: simple colour names, derivatives from colour names and composed names). The final considerations contain conclusions resulting from the analysis, accompanied by a provisory map illustrating some of indicated phenomena.

O artigo pretende apresentar uma imagem colorida de Portugal Continental, baseada em 62 nomes de lugares habitados em que se encontra referência a uma cor, achados no território português. Os topónimos estudados, recolhidos maioritariamente dos índices de duas fontes cartográficas, são analisados do ponto de vista etimológico-semântico (divisão segundo cor) e formal (classificação em três grupos: nomes de cor simples, derivados de nomes de cor e nomes compostos). As considerações finais contêm conclusões tiradas da análise, acompanhadas de um mapa provisório que ilustra alguns dos fenómenos apontados.
