sinisenkeltaisen

Sinisenkeltaisen is a Finnish compound adjective describing something that has blue and yellow colors. It is formed by combining the color adjectives sininen (blue) and keltainen (yellow). The phrase is used to indicate a two-color palette or pattern, rather than a single shade. In Finnish, such color descriptions are inflected according to grammar, for example sinisenkeltaisen (genitive singular), sinisenkeltaiset (plural), or sinisenkeltaisen värinen (colored blue-yellow).

Usage contexts include design, branding, and descriptions of flags, logos, or uniforms where blue and yellow appear together. The term can refer to both specific objects, such as a blue-yellow patterned flag, and broader palettes used in graphic design or art. It is a descriptive, not a fixed color category like sinivalkoinen (blue-and-white); it conveys the combination of two colors rather than a standard named color.

Linguistic notes: Finnish commonly forms compound color descriptions by joining color words directly. As a result, sinisenkeltaisen and its variants appear in written and spoken prose when a two-color scheme needs to be expressed clearly. The word is most typical in neutral descriptive writing, design documentation, and discussions of color schemes rather than in everyday color naming.
