The semantic system of a term is a network system which centers on its prototype semantics and radiates from its nonprototype semantics. In specific context, the combination of color terms and specific terms will generate other meanings which are closely related with colors, called non-prototype semantics of color terms. This paper examined non-prototype semantics of basic color terms of Chinese language and concluded the generation mechanism of three non-prototype semantics of metaphor,metonymy and cultural endowment.
