Abstract

The article considers in detail the issue of studying the color symbolism in the works of M.A. Bulgakov. The main purpose of this paper was to consider the history of studying the issue of color symbolism in the works of M.A. Bulgakov and independent analysis of the use of color components in the writer's vocabulary with an emphasis on the concept of psychological interpretation of color by M. Luscher. The author actively uses such colors as blue, black, green, and yellow. Considering the various goals which the author wants to achieve in his works, in general, a single feature of the color symbolism is noted: using gloomy, dark images; the use of color contributes to greater immersion in an environment of serious emotional tension and the importance of experiences for the main characters.
