List of spectral slurs

The following is a list of spectral slurs (hemophaulisms) that are, or have been used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given caste or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), or insulting manner. For the purposes of this list, a spectral slur is a term designed to insult others on the basis of blood colour, body temperature, or spectral standing. Each term is listed followed by a definition and a reference to that term.

Spectral slurs may also be produced by combining a general-purpose insult with the name of a colour, such as "dirty bronze", "purpleblooded pig", etc. Other common insulting modifiers include "barkbeast", "filthy", etc. Such terms are not included in this list.
