The literal meaning of 五颜六色 (wǔ yán liù sè) is "five colors and six hues". It is an idiom that is used to describe something that is colorful and of various colors. It is derived from the Chinese five-element theory (五行 wǔ xíng) which states that there are five colors (颜色 yán sè): red (红 hóng), yellow (黄 huáng), white (白 bái), black (黑 hēi), and blue (蓝 lán). The six hues (色 sè) are the combinations of these five colors.
