基于对新兴颜色词的研究，本文将其结构分为五大类：名词性语素修饰颜色语素的颜色词、形容词性语素修饰颜色语素的颜色词、动词性语素修饰颜色语素的颜色词，外来语素修饰颜色语素的颜色词以及不带颜色语素的颜色词。相较于传统颜色词，新兴颜色词具有三种鲜明特点：词语搭配上的随意性、语义构造上的主观性和语用表达上的独特性。在语义层面，新兴颜色词可分为写实型新兴颜色词和写意型新兴颜色词两类。新兴颜色词具有商业功能、文艺功能和情感功能。从认知隐喻和转喻的角度研究新兴颜色词可以得出，隐喻主要运用于写意型新兴颜色词，转喻则主要运用与写实型新兴颜色词。而且，一部分新兴颜色词两者皆有。

通过研究新兴颜色词的使用情况，本文发现新兴颜色词遍及商业领域。新兴颜色词在给人们带来方便的同时，也由于它的随意性和模糊性而造成困扰和误解。这就要求相关部门对新兴颜色词的起名进行规范，逐步淘汰那些生造、随意性很大、模糊性很强的颜色词，保证颜色词的健康发展。
