Color Calendar | Color of October 25th: Steamed Chestnut Brown
Like steamed peeled chestnuts,
A pale yellow with a slight greenish tinge
This is the "steamed chestnut color."
Unlike the reddish brown "chestnut brown" and "chestnut skin brown,"
The color of steamed chestnuts is the color of the fluffy chestnuts that appear in freshly cooked chestnut rice.
It gently evokes the warmth of the dining table and memories of an autumn kitchen.
This color is particularly soft among the yellows, and has a simple and gentle impression.
It has also been used for Japanese sweets, tableware, and kimono linings.
It's not flashy, but it's a color that fits into your everyday life.
That's the appeal of steamed chestnut.
Quote of the day
The steamed chestnut color is the warmth of an autumn kitchen.
Beyond the steam, the presence of family drifts.
