Yksivärisiä

Yksivärisiä is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective yksivärinen, meaning “monochrome” or “one-colored.” It describes objects that have a single color without patterns or multicolored elements. The base word comes from the concept of one color, contrasted with terms for multiple colors.

In usage, yksivärisiä appears when describing plural nouns in partitive case, for example in fashion, design, art, and textiles. It is commonly used to refer to items with a uniform color, such as fabrics, garments, or artworks, and is often contrasted with monivärinen (multicolored).

Common examples include phrases like yksivärisiä vaatteita (monochrome clothes), yksivärisiä kankaita (monochrome fabrics), or yksivärisiä maalauksia (monochrome paintings). The corresponding singular form is yksivärinen, used for a single item, as in yksivärinen paita (a monochrome T-shirt).

See also terms include monivärinen (multicolored) and kaksivärinen (two-colored). Yksivärisiä is a descriptive color term frequently employed in Finnish discussions of fashion, interior design, and art to denote uniform color schemes and the absence of patterns.
