In this paper, the author analyzes compound adjectives describing col-ours in German. In addition to traditional adjectival forms included in the dictionaries, a significant number of such adjectives are created ad hoc (commercials, magazines, fashion portals), which is an evidence of German native speakers’ creativity in terms of forming compound adjectives to describe a colour hue as they perceive it. However from the perspective of speakers of Croatian and other languages, this practice can cause translation problems, which is why the author provides some guidelines for resolving the problem by conducting an analysis at a morphological and syntactical-semantic level.
