Abstract Taxonomy

What if there was a way to categorize things that aren't alive? or even things that don't exist at all (abstract things as well)? Well, I think I have a way to solve this I call it the Domain Abstracta/Nonexistencia

An example of a taxonomy would be the word "I".

Domain - Abstracta, Kingdom - Visus (Abstract things known by seeing), Phylum - Multaplaga (Things that are multiple strokes)

Class - Lingunitas (Lingua + Unitas) (Words), Order - Pronoma (Pronouns), Family - Subjectidae (Subject Pronouns), Genus - Ego (The word I)

so the binomial name for the word "I" can simply be Ego ego or Primapersona ego

I guess an informal "I" could be Ego informalis and a formal "I" could be Ego formalis.

This is just an idea of mine, I hope that this is useful for anyone and I hope they have a good day.

Phylum Chroma
Here is an example taxonomy for the color "red" based on your Domain Abstracta/Nonexistencia system:

That's a good suggestion to have three color classes - warm, cold, and non-hue. Here is one way to structure the color taxonomy with those three classes:

Domain: Abstracta

Kingdom: Visus (Abstract visual concepts)

Phylum: Chroma (Colors)

Class: Calorchroma (Warm colors)

Class: Friguschroma (Cold colors)

Class: Achroma (Achromatic/neutral colors)

Order under Calor: Rubrorum (Reds)

Order under Frigus: Caeruleum (Blues)

Order under Achroma: Griseum (Grays)

And then the families, genera and species could be defined under those orders for the specific colors.

The benefit of this structure is it separates colors into the logical groupings of warm, cold and neutral tones. The warm and cold distinctions are common ways of categorizing hue-based colors, while having a separate non-hue class makes sense for greys, whites and blacks. Let me know if this three-class taxonomy would work or if you would adjust it further

Good idea, we could further split the Calor (Warm colors) class into three orders for reds, oranges and yellows:

Domain: Abstracta

Kingdom: Visus

Phylum: Chroma

Class: Calor (Warm Colors)

Order: Rubrorum (Red hues)

Order: Aurantiorum (Orange hues)

Order: Flavorum (Yellow hues)

That's a good suggestion to divide the Rubrorum (Red hues) order into three families based on shade darkness:

Domain: Abstracta

Kingdom: Visus

Phylum: Chroma

Class: Calor (Warm colors)

Order: Rubrorum (Red hues)

Family: Rubrobscurae (Dark reds)

Family: Rubrorae (Saturated reds)

Family: Rubroclarae (Light reds)

And then the genera and species could categorize the specific shades, like:

Family: Rubrobscurae (Dark reds)

Genus: Rubrovinosum (Maroon)

Species: Rubrovinosum Densum (Dark maroon)

Family: Rubrorae (Saturated reds)

Genus: Rubrum (Red)

Species: Rubrum Coccineum (Scarlet)

Family: Rubroclarae (Light reds)

Genus: Rubrosaceum (Rose red)

Species: Rubrosaceum Pallens (Pale rose)

This allows for a more nuanced categorization within red hues based on their darkness. The structure can be expanded to also divide the orange and yellow orders into shade families in a similar manner if desired. Please let me know if this subdivision of red hues makes sense.

Here is an example taxonomy for orange and its shades based on the structure you provided:

Domain: Abstracta

Kingdom: Visus

Phylum: Chroma

Class: Calorchroma (Warm colors)

Order: Aurantiorum (Orange hues)

Family: Aurantiobscurae (Dark oranges)

Genus: Aurantiocastaneum (Burnt orange)

Species: Aurantiocastaneum Fuscum (Deep burnt orange)

Family: Aurantiorae (Saturated oranges)

Genus: Aurantium (Orange)

Species: Aurantium Fulvum (Tawny orange)

Family: Aurantioclarae (Light oranges)

Genus: Aurantioflavum (Yellow-orange)

Species: Aurantioflavum Pallidum (Pale yellow-orange)

In summary, this categorizes shades of orange based on darkness under the Aurantiorum order, with families for dark, saturated and light orange hues. Specific shades are denoted by genus and species names. Please let me know if you would modify or expand this orange taxonomy further!

You're absolutely right, my mistake. To keep the taxonomy terminology consistent, the rank names should be in Latin or Greek. Here is the brown taxonomy updated with Latin terms:

Domain: Abstracta

Kingdom: Visus

Phylum: Chroma

Class: Calorchroma

Order: Aurantiorum

Family: Fuscae

Genus: Fuscus

Species: Fuscus Vulgaris (Standard brown)

Family: Fuscobscurae

Genus: Fuscocastaneus (Chestnut brown)

Species: Fuscocastaneus Opacus (Opaque chestnut)

Family: Fuscoclarae

Genus: Fuscogilvus (Beige)

Species: Fuscogilvus Pallens (Pale beige)

Thank you for the reminder to keep the naming consistent. Please let me know if I should make any other adjustments to the Latin terminology in this taxonomy. I appreciate you helping me improve the structure.
