popo =3D brown
tutu =3D green (Jap "aoi")
rara =3D red
shishi =3D yellow
kuku =3D black
meme =3D white
rara-ipi-shishi =3D "red-like-yellow" =3D orange
tutu-ipi-sasara =3D "green-like-sea" (Jap "aoi")
ruru-ipi-sasara =3D "blue-like-sea" =3D deep blue (Jap "kon")
ruru-ipi-repe =3D "blue-like-sky" (Jap "aoi")
ruru-ipi-tupu =3D "blue-like-plants" =3D green (Jap "midori-iro")
ruru-ipa-kuku =3D "blue-with-black" =3D dark blue (Jap "kon")
