Abstract
Embellishment "Tadbij in Arabic" is an Arabized Persian word meaning "engraving" and "embellishment." This study aims to identify the mismatched colors included in poetic texts to embellish them and give them different, non-visual connotations. The researcher of the resulting words must analyze them according to the poet's intended meaning behind their apparent words, such as allusions and metaphors for the underlying intended meanings. Andalusian poets during the Taifa and Almoravid eras used colors and "embellishment," meaning the shift between two non-contradictory colors, due to the influences of the rural and urban environments, the change in government, and its transition from one phase to another thanks to the ruling peoples (the change of eras). This led to the use of a beautiful rhetorical art to convey the turbulent emotions inherent in the poet's soul, influenced by his Moroccan environment, which was mixed with other peoples in the Iberian Peninsula. An attempt was made to study a group of famous poets from both eras and how they used "embellishment" (colors) and their connotations, based on the subject matter used and its realistic significance.
