This song describes a woman's beauty using colors, the lyrics are exquisite.
Niram in Tamil means Colour.
Each stanza focuses on one colour & you can see the aesthetic and mood changing on screen as well.
Pachai = Green
Sivappu = Red
Manjal = yellow
Blue and Black are not mentioned by name but alluded to in imagery..
The colour of a peacock's neck, the colour of a cloudless sky
The colour of the night, the colour of a crow's wings
And finally,
vellai = White
