Socrates, after making sure that Meno knows the geometrical terms "limit" and "solid," defines shape as "that which limits a solid; in a word, a shape is the limit of a solid." Then, after chastising Meno for ordering him around, Socrates proceeds to define color "after the manner of Gorgias" (rather than after his own manner, in which he defined shape). He mentions Empedocles' concept of effluvia, those elements that travel into us via our sense organs and allow us to sense the external world. Using this concept, and quoting Pindar along the way, Socrates defines color as "an effluvium from shapes which fits the sight and is perceived."
