In this work, an attempt is made to determine the color scheme of the space of the British and Kazakh ethnic groups in the perception of the world. The purpose of this article is to present and use fundamental information such as semantic meanings and geographical features of colors (a type of toponym including color names) in Kazakhstan and the UK. The research material is English and Kazakh place names, and the purpose is to identify idioethnic features of space perception. Toponymic data for this study were obtained from the database of toponyms of Kazakhstan and the UK. The results showed that the most common names of colors recognized in toponymy are that have a close connection with everyday life and positive morals in Kazakh and English culture and literature. The toponymic image of the world can be characterized from two sides as the relation to the ethnos (nation, nationality) and to the person (toponymic person, representative of the nation). Toponymys that were made of color names are also defined as a unit of vocabulary relating to the area of spatial relations and reflecting the location of a particular given object.
