In general, Sundanese colors might be different from other languages. For instance, in Sundanese, black is expressed using "item" which is often used to describe anything "dark" or "shadowy". Similarly, brown is described as "coklat" as this word refers to chocolate. I often find it interesting how cultural elements play an important factor in Sundanese vocabulary.
