For what it is worth in the discussion:
Ioway-Otoe has for  "Dark= sewe" which seems to have been generated from
"thewe= black".  The two terms were used by elders.
Also, in agreement with other Siouian languages there is "to= blue,
green".  In contemporary times "tohge ~ na'tohge= like green ~ like green
leaves".
