This paper examines for the first time the meaning of the terms white (aspros/lefkos) and black (mavros) in Modern Greek, based on Greek Corpora and Greek dictionaries. The results of the study showed that the term mavros has a negative connotation, as opposed to lefkos associated with a positive connotation, confirming the Berlin Kay’s hypothesis about the existence of semantic universals between languages. Web as a Corpus, also, provides new collocations with a high degree of semantic opacity, which are not contained in Modern Greek dictionaries and are English translation loans deriving from the field of technology.
