Color Effects due to Ligand Exchange in Nickel Complexes 

In the literary rhetoric of ancient times the imagery of color (as first introduced by Plato) develops in two different senses on the one hand chroma and color denote the one-sided coloration of objective facts in speech, and in particular the glossing over of negative aspects, and on the other they refer to the omatus, the ornamentation of language by means of verse and figures of speech. 

The Latin word color in the sense of ornatus is for example often used by Cicero in the course of polished ut-pictura-poesis imagery. A quote from Brutus will make this clear  

First of all let us have a look at the books of different authors, above all those of Cato. You then will understand that in his drawings there are missing only the floweriness and the colors of a kind of painting which was not known in those days. 

Cicero expresses similar sentiments in De oratore the beauty of the speech lies first of all in its color and freshness however Cicero counsels us not to use omatus too often, since in all things there is only a thin dividing line between the greatest delights and satiety.
