And I *really* wonder..
Was it sooo hard, to be given an actual english word for the meaning of {qalmuS} ?
We have one. It's "color". The word "color" has multiple meanings. It can refer to a specific shade of light in the visual spectrum: *That tree is a nice color. My favorite color is blue.* It can also refer to the phenomenon of color itself: *This movie is in color. Can dogs see color?* *qalmuS* applies to the latter, not the former. If you're looking for other English words that might be more precise, you could also try more technical terms like "colorfulness", "chroma", or "saturation". Excuse me, but what are we supposed to add next to {qalmuS} in our
dictionaries ? hmm ? An entire paragraph ?
*qalmus* n. color (as opposed to black and white), the phenomenon of color, colorfulness, chroma
