Värissä

Värissä is a Finnish word formed as the inessive singular of väri, meaning "color" or "colour". As an inessive case form, värissä literally means "in the color" and is commonly used to indicate that something exists, appears or is produced in a particular color or in color (as opposed to black-and-white).

Grammatically, värissä combines the noun root väri with the inessive suffix -ssä, which marks location or state. The plural inessive is väreissä ("in the colors"). The word follows Finnish vowel harmony and consonant gradation rules; phonetic transcription is approximately /ˈværisːæ/.

Typical uses include describing visual media and objects: for example, "Elokuva on värissä" ("The film is in color") or "Kuva on painettu värissä" ("The picture is printed in color"). It can appear in descriptive contexts with adjectives and possessives (e.g., "sinisessä värissä" – "in a blue color" or "värissäni" – "in my color").

Related words include väri (color), värillinen (colored, having color) and väritys (coloring, coloration). Värissä is a common, neutral form in everyday Finnish when specifying the presence or mode of color.
