compositional modifiers
组合修饰词，指 "light / dark / pale / deep" 等与基本颜色词组合以表达更精细颜色描述的语言成分，使颜色词汇量远超基本颜色词所能覆盖的范围。
English Definition
"Linguistic elements such as "light", "dark", "pale", or "deep" that combine with a base color term to form a more specific color description, enabling the vocabulary to express a far larger color space than basic terms alone."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
在颜色命名、compositional vision-language 模型、Text2Color 等研究中频繁出现；中文常译为"组合修饰词"或"组合性修饰语"。

"The release of crowdsourced datasets like XKCD further reflects the growing attention to name–color relationships, showing that the lexicon of color extends far beyond a fixed set of basic terms and involves compositional modifiers, semantic nuance, and contextual variation."
"More recent neural approaches, e.g., Text2Color, have supported compositional descriptions but remain one-directional and data-constrained."
"They reveal important regularities in human naming but remain primarily descriptive, leaving open the challenge of building computational models that generalize under data sparsity and compositional descriptors."
