夏色, 桜色 and so on, whats the meaning, colored summer, colored sakura, colored...?
well, i just want to clear my doubs because 夏色 Summer-colored, sound too literal, and i don´t think thats the meaning.
Then, thanks in advance
夏色 is literally summer-like color, but it has a poetic nuance. Actually, there isn't such a color.
But we sometimes use this word. When I hear "夏色", I can imagine not only the color such a blue and white, but also the color of the sea, shining sun and so on that we see in summer.
桜色 is a bit different from 夏色. It is an existing color for real.
There are many words to express colors in Japan. They are almost named after nature: trees, flowers, fruits, animals and so on. Those names of colors are beautiful and impressive, I think.
Honestly, I don't know all of names though xD.
