This paper addresses the variation within color expressions in modern Finnish and the processes behind their semantic structures in audio description of visual art. Visually impaired people are entitled to experience art in its all aspects and for this purpose, museums offer audio described guidance in their exhibitions. Audio description is intersemiotic translation where visually observed parts of the work are translated into language. The study is based on audio description manuscripts from four Finnish art museums that are analyzed in comparison to the contextual aspects. The theoretical and methodological framework of this study is cognitive linguistic. Results of the analysis indicate that there is a wide-ranging diverse within color expressions, and their meanings differ based on the contexts where the expressions are used. These observations are discussed in relation to the existing guidelines regarding audio description.
