Note 1: 파란색 is also used sometimes to describe the colour green.
In ancient Korean there were only five pure colour words, so
파란색 was used to denote both blue and green.
Note 2: Younger people tend to use 핑크색 rather than 분홍색, which has
a rather 'old fashioned' connotation.
Note 3: 밤색 literally means 'chestnut colour'.
