Many scholars, particularly social linguists, place a strong emphasis on how society and the environment influence how languages change through time. They contend that the social and institutional language of the military is influenced by culture, which responds to extralinguistic and environmental elements. Gender is examined as an extralinguistic component in connection to language creation in addition to aspects including the environment, social structure, attitudes, and values. Color is unquestionably one of the most crucial and successful components in the construction of literary works. Poets utilize color to communicate high-frequency abstract ideas to their audience. Among them is "Zeinab Habash," a poet of the Palestinian resistance who experienced the hardships of his time and wrote poetry to capture the freedom, suffering, and anguish of the Palestinian people. The interpretation of color in this poet's poetry and the identification of its uses appear crucial and imperative since the color is one of the symbolic aspects of current poetry and one of the essential elements of imagination. Therefore, the aim of this descriptive-analytical study is to investigate the role of colors and words in communicating sustainability concepts in the female writing of "Zeinab Habash" and to explain the qualitative and quantitative use of colors in her poems. The use of the element of color is an expression of the difference between this poet and other Palestinian female speakers. As far as the ratio of the positive use of colors to their negative usage is practically twofold and represents the optimistic thinking of the poet Zainab Habash; colors are frequently used to create positive notions. He employed the primary colors of red, black, green, white, and yellow; however, he avoided using blue in any form since he despises and does not regard the occupiers, who are represented by this color. Despite their low frequency, the two shades of wheat and silver have a very specific purpose in the poet's paintings and have given them fresh color and gloss.
