Here's a diagram of the basic Tirelat colors (the five large circles and
the three in the middle) plus some of the more common intermediate color
words. Ignore the archaic spelling.

http://www.io.com/~hmiller/png/tirelhat-colors.png

Current spelling:
biri "red"
lhevi "pale orange, peach"
vezi "orange"
marvi "brown"
tzevi "tan"
hiiri "yellow"
gorbi "olive"
hezhi "yellow-green"
ziimi "green"
kilhi "blue-green"
nuri "blue, azure"
zari "sky blue"
guuri "indigo, deep blue"
zhuli "purple, violet"
rezhi "magenta"
zaafi "pink, lavender"
fali "white"
shaagi "gray"
kavi "black"

The original Czirehlat version of the chart has the same colors, but with a
few differences in the names of the colors.
