Grammar
Is, when comparing 2 things
I sometimes read that ”is” is omitted when comparing the second thing being compared. Example; ”Sweet is a taste, orange a colour.”
Is this right or wrong?
Should it be: ”Sweet is a taste, orange is a colour.” But that ofcourse would just be two statements.

It's like this:
Sweet is a taste; orange, a color.
(So says the Chicago Manual of Style.)
