AboutSister atlases Chroma CathayThe visual-culture studio behind this atlas ↗
A sourced record of Korean color.
Korean Color Atlas documents 111 traditional Korean colors — the obangsaek (오방색) system, dancheong (단청) pigments, and the MMCA national standard — each traced to the text, pigment, or standard that attests it.
It is a Chroma Cathay atlas, a sister to the Chinese and Japanese Color Atlases. The studio builds source-aware visual-culture references: not swatch pickers, but datasets you can cite, copy, and export — with honest provenance and clear limits on what a HEX value can claim.
