The article discovers the functioning peculiarities of color naming in linguistics in terms of paradigmatic connections presence. The variety of such connections is rather wide but only synonymic and antonymic are discussed in the article through the example of color namings "white" and "black". The article is aimed to introduce the comparative plan of basic color naming using in lexical entries and mass media. To attain this aim the analysis of last decade's modern mass media is held. The author concludes that using synonymic and antonymic variations in color naming stands in stark contrast with lexical entries' examples.
