春雨逍遙

in idleness

the darkness of a storage room

Recently I talked about 'colour' with my friend, Japanese has many beautiful colour names. We found this colour, which was called 納戸色(Nando-iro) looked alike Teal : https://www.colordic.org/colorsample/2078

納戸(Nando) means a storage room and there are many theories to explain this colour name. I thought it was interesting the best: 'The colour of the darkness of a storage room.'

I've never found that kind of darkness before and thought how beautiful it was. Oh My ancestors!! How about you? You could find your favorite on the site: https://www.colordic.org/w

Please feel free to ask me what Japanese name means.
