The traditional colors in China are: plum dyeing, chestnut falling, thin persimmon, long face, lingering, dawn, crow green, rouge, grass, barnyard grass, pale green, water blue, moonlight, distant mountains like Dai, oriental white and green plum.

China color is the way people in China define color, while China color is more than color. China color is the way that China people look at the world, and the oriental aesthetics and ancient wisdom inherited for thousands of years are hidden behind the color.

The naming of Chinese traditional colors is inseparable from literary works.

In order to describe vividly, literary works often create a large number of new words to express colors, such as "the East is white at dawn". The name comes from Su Shi's Red Cliff Fu, "I don't know if the east is white because of the pillow boat."

There is also "sunset purple", which is also the color of the poet. Hundreds of ancient poems have written "sunset red". Originally from Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting, "The water is cold and the pool is clear, and the smoke is purple."
