As a result, political and economic texts have been considered priorities in terms of colour tropes usage by journalists; the main functions of colour tropes realized in mass media texts of different focus have been viewed; the peculiarities of semantic transformation of colouratives within a trope have been analyzed and the conclusion that the colour component enhances the expressiveness and effectiveness of the trope has been made.
