Colors of June: #Yeoreumsalgusaek and #Bakhasatangsaek
As part of the celebrations for its 75th anniversary, Samhwa Paints has given a native Korean name to each month of the year and also selected the colors representing each month. Samhwa is ready to reveal its name and colors for the month of June.
Samhwa has renamed June Nuridal as shorthand for “the month when the sounds of life pervade everything.” June is the beginning of summer in Korea. Samhwa has chosen Yeoreumsalgusaek (“Summer Apricot”), inspired by the sunset over a beach, and Bakhasatangsaek (“Peppermint Candy”), capturing the refreshing color and energy of the summer sea, to mark the full vitality of all living things in June.
The apricot hue of the summer sunset cast over a calm sea and the fine sand of a beach is perhaps one of the most pleasing views to see in life. The velvety, supple apricot color of Yeoreumsalgusaek almost seems to emit the sweet aroma of the summer fruit. The color is warm and exotic like the summer vacation we dream of.
Warm oranges like Yeoreumsalgusaek are usually used to create refreshing, fruit-like effects, but they can also add warmth and a welcoming ambience in accordance with the way they are used. It’s the first color we’d recommend if you’re looking for ways to deepen the warmth of your family room or living room. Use the color along with soft fabrics and materials to make your home cozier. Use it with black or greys for a more natural, modern look. The color and tone of the flooring should also be considered. Yeoreumsalgusaek, when matched with the color of natural wood flooring, will instantly make the inside of your home look like an exotic hotel.
As temperatures rise and the air becomes more humid, we begin to develop a true appreciation for the refreshing cool breeze that blows through the increasingly lush leaves on the trees. Bakhasatangsaek captures that welcome sensation of coolness we feel in breezes from the sea and in the tides that approach while we stand on the beach in early summer. Just as a peppermint candy cools our mouths, the color cools our eyes. As the boiling heat of full summer is just around the corner, it’s time to lower the visual temperature of your space with cool colors like this.
Mint-inspired colors like Bakhasatangsaek can actually go with every season. When added to your space, such hues help you relax, recharge and hone your focus. Bakhasatangsaek can create a wide range of effects in accordance with the other colors it is matched with. Use it with neutral tones of beige, white, and natural wood to bring the most out of its natural brightness and warmth. Use it with darker colors like black, grey, and navy for a sophisticated urban look. Bakhasatangsaek is also recommended for bedrooms as it can help you de-stress at the end of the day. It is also a great choice if you’re looking for a gender-neutral color for the kids’ room.
