You could use get_terms()
and loop through it – using the term description as the “short name” and slug as the specific class ( or you could use an array of colors of your choice ). Let’s look at a quick example:
<?php
$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post_id, 'category' );
if( ! empty( $terms ) ) : ?>
<?php foreach( $terms as $term ) : ?>
<div class="<?php echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->description; ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
endif;
?>
If you wanted to make a list out of it or link from it you have full control over the HTML – let me know if you have questions about the markup.
