What is Japan's traditional color "Nure Karasu"?

Nurekarasu refers to the black color of the black feathers of a crow that is wet with water. This is a traditional color that represents how the surface of feathers wet with rain loses diffused reflection and appears even blacker due to the intertwined luster of multiple colors such as blue, green, and purple. The history of Japan dates back to the era of Manyoshu. It is said that the stylish phrase ``her hair is the color of a crow's feathers'' was used to compliment a beautiful woman with moist, black, glossy hair.

wet crow color = wet gray

Nurekarasu, which has an impressive bluish black color that is not pure black, has various names such as Karasu-iro, Karasuha-iro, Karasu no Nureha-iro, and Nureha-iro. ``Nurekarasu'' is pronounced ``Nuregarasu.''
