1. Mushi-guri-iro (Soft Steamed Chestnut Yellow) "Mushi-guri-iro" refers to the color of the flesh of a steamed chestnut just after it has been peeled. In Japan this color has been cherished since the Heian period(794–1185) for its resemblance to the delicious autumn harvest. It is a warm creamy yellow distinct from the sharp brightness of lemon or gold. Derived from Gardenia (Kuchinasi) this gentle hue evokes a sense of comfort and the modest elegance of the Japanese autumn. Show more
