Naturaleza, formación y organización de los símbolos cromáticos

This paper is not about the analysis of a particular chromatic symbol. It is rather about the manner such symbols are formed, how they mean and how they are organized into semiotic systems. I first discuss issues of arbitrariness and motivation, and then focus on the way most chromatic symbols have an iconic motivation. Finally, I analyze chromatic systems composed of two, three and four elements.
