In some systems colors are used as a prime method of communication. They are sent out telepathically, each gradation of such variety that you cannot now imagine it. These intricate color communications follow the almost endless emotional shadings possible. It is difficult you see to verbalize this concept. They have to begin with more spectrums than those with which you are familiar. They live in an entirely different sense universe.
As you for example attempt to blend colors to give an effect, they telepathically send out a continual stream of ever-changing colors. Such a concept as a sentence would be meaningless to them, and yet pattern is involved in the colors so that the shape and form of a color also has meaning.
The analogy may be a poor one in that it says so little, and yet it will be helpful in giving you the idea. Instead of nouns for example you would have the shape of the ever-moving pattern, instead of a verb the pulsation of the color, or rather of its transmission. Instead of a time sequence of tenses, which they would not need, you have the intensities and depths of color.
These are not to be thought of as colored pictures however, for neither do they use that kind of imagery, and yet a high degree of preciseness is communicated. In your terms there would be, in quotes, “words” for all kinds of subtle emotional states for which you have no words.
