Afterglow – Yokō

"It's what remains in your mind after the light has passed."

"Afterglow" is the color of a time that is neither dusk nor morning, when the afterglow of light lingers.
It's neither white nor gold, but a pale golden grey with a slight reddish tint.
It is the color of quiet warmth and memory that remains after the strong light has passed.

This color represents "light in the margins" and "emotional reverberations."
As the New Year's holidays come to an end and daily life begins to return to normal,
At random moments, vestiges of light float in the space.
That afterglow quietly lights up deep in your heart.

Afterglow in daily life

• Traces of morning light remaining on a shoji screen • Reddish light shining into a room in the evening • Golden-gray reflections remaining on the edge of a white dish

Afterglow is a color that reflects the "temperature of time that has passed" and the "echoes of quiet emotions."
It is a poem of light and memory that is connected to the "beauty of white space" and "lingering emotional echoes" that WABISUKE values.
