В этой связи упоминалось о символическом значении цветов в лексеме одежды в каракалпакском языке.

Clothing is directly related to the way of life of each nation which they have been living since ancient, traditions and customs, and nature, and marks their national culture. Clothes clearly show a person's education, intelligence, self-control and aesthetic skills. The reason is that a person was valued not only for wearing new clothes, but for wearing them according to the culture of dressing. The fact that our people wear clothes according to their age from early times and pay attention to their colors is a sign of intelligence. 165 ResearchBib IF-2023: 11.01, ISSN: 3030-3753, Valume 1 Issue 8 ISSN: 3030-3753. VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2 Symbolic meanings of colors were formed according to the differences in the mentality of each people, i.e. life traditions, customs, and beliefs. The fact that the secret of colors has become an object of research in many disciplines (physics, psychology, physiology, chemistry, art, linguistics) shows the complexity of its nature. A number of research works have been carried out in Turkic languages in the field of linguistics. To mention specially, S.I. Matchanova determined the structural and lexical-semantic differences of the words expressing color in the Russian and Uzbek languages in her work[1,24]. M. Ganikhodjaeva studied the color adjectives in the Uzbek language in a comparative-historical aspect [2,23]. Z.N.

Understanding the meaning of colors is of particular importance in everyday life and social production. Along with the fact that color determines the appearance of all things in nature, the beauty of the surroundings, the distinction between things, plants, animals, it also reflects the various thoughts, worldviews and beliefs of mankind.

The adjectives that express color firstly explain a certain color, and finally, as a result of abstract thinking, they begin to express other meanings. We took into account these semantic differences, and in this article we decided to focus mainly on the use of colors in the symbolic meaning in the clothes lexeme. The world of color in the culture of each nation has its own symbolic meaning, i.e. color is considered as one of the factors that represent the culture of the nation. In our language, by combining the term qalpaq "hat" with the word qara “black” which means color, and qaraqalpaq is widely used as a symbol of our nation. For example: … Al men máńgi watanlasıń qaraqalpaq bolaman! (I.YUsupov). ... And I will always be your compatriot Karakalpak! (I. Yusupov). Also, in our language the aq qalpaq (white cap), which is the national headd
