In cognitive linguistics, the categorization of colour is studied through the reconstruction of colour concepts. Specifically, the goal is to discover the points of reference used by a linguistic community as prototypes of different colours. The colour system of Ukrainian is special in that it has as many as three “basic” words that together cover the range of the English blue. This paper presents the results of a corpus study of one of them, holubyi ‘sky-blue’. On this basis, the referential model of this colour name is reconstructed as consisting of the dominant reference point (a clear sky) and secondary ones.
