If you can find a copy of Julian H. Steward's _Basin-Plateau
Aboriginal Sociopolitical Groups_, Bureau of American Ethnology
Bulletin 120, Government Printing Office, 1938, Reprint 1970 by
University of Utah Press, he give the color terms in 24 dialects
of five Shoshonean languages (Northern Paiute, Southern Paiute,
Kawaiisu, Shoshone, and Ute) on pp. 275-283. You may want to
rewrite them in a conventional orthography. He has apparently
followed Edward Sapir's.
