To obtain effectiveness in daily communication and reduce the “burden” of cramming with a large number of vocabularies, people change the meanings of words. In fact, metaphors and metonymies are two popular ways to change the meanings of words. This study is centered around metaphors in 181 English and Vietnamese idioms related to colors. The comparative method, quantitative, qualitative, and semantic analysis are used throughout this study to find similarities and differences between metaphors in English and Vietnamese idioms related to colors in terms of linguistics and culture.
