Colors are used in different cultures and texts. They are used for many purposes by people.The meaningful aspects of the colors are created by community to reflect their ideas. The study willfocus on the colors that are mentioned in Al-Sayyab's poems. The study aims to find how these colorsare functioned in such poems through semiotic analysis. The colors are four, green, white, black andyellow. These colors have been tackled through semiotic analysis by using three signs: icon, index,and symbol. The study has reached to the conclusions that the use of these colors is stable in somecontexts, while it varies among other. Those colors within the poetic language poems are stable ifthere is a reference to nature and the occurrence of these in different view of life.
