Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the color worldview in the lyrical cycles of G. V. Kondakov "Altai - My Land Bell" and "The Feast of the Dew". In the poems of these cycles the conception of the relationship between a man and nature is traced through color symbolism. The author comes to the conclusion that in the poet’s color worldview there are three main colors: white, blue, green - which represent an indivisible triad, symbolizing purity, truth, eternity, and divinity. The element of water unites the sky and the land of Altai into one in the poet’s worldview. The Katun River acts as a border/belt; it is the connecting link between the sky and the earth, the upper, middle and lower worlds.
