| Nonstandard color words |
This is a list of nonstandard color words. Many speakers coin new words to fill the perceived gaps in Toki Pona's core color system.
kapesi
 | |

| Pronunciation | /ˈka |

| Usage | 2023: Obscure4, Rare6 (19% ↗︎ ) Most speakers don't use this word.2022: Rare (14%)

| Part of speech | Content word |
kapesi is an obscure, pre-pu nimi ku lili for brown and gray.[1] It is derived from either Cantonese 咖啡色 (gaa3 fe1 sik1) or Mandarin 咖啡色 (kāfēisè), meaning "brown" (literally, "coffee color"). It was found in the original dictionary of the language from March 2002,[2] but had been removed from the word list by June of the same year.[3]
jan li wile pali e ni2 kili-lili kapesi li pana ala e kon ikejan li wile pali e ni: kili lili kapesi li pana ala e kon ike.[4]
People want to cause this: small brown fruits (beans) don't give bad gas.
In practice, kapesi is more commonly used for browns than grays, because browns are usually hard to describe with pu words, while grays can easily be described as pimeja walo ("light black") or walo pimeja ("dark white"). One possible alternative to kapesi is kule ma ("earth color").
The sitelen pona glyph for kapesi (kapesi) is derived from the color triangle radical and the word ma ("dirt, soil").
The sitelen sitelen glyph for kapesi was designed by jan Alonola for a poem in lipu tenpo nanpa walo and is possibly derived from the sitelen pona glyph and the base of other color words.[5]

nalanja is an obscure word and nimi sin for orange and similar colors. It was derived from Spanish naranja, meaning "orange". Similar words include analanjato, jole, and lejo. Possible alternatives to nalanja include jelo loje and loje jelo.

Glyph with seli above color radical -
Glyph with emitters above color radical, proposed by ma Seli -
