color has 21 distinct synonyms spread across 14 of its 14 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its 3 recorded opposites are colorlessness, discolor, black-and-white.
