In this basic Korean vocabulary lesson, we are going to learn Korean colors, Korean weather, Korean season, and related vocabularies.
learn Korean colors
색 is a Sino Korean letter. In Korean, you should always attach colour at the last of a colour name just like 회색, 밤색. But if you are using colour as an adjective then its fine to just use the name of the colour for example- 파란 풀 is green grass,파란 가디건 is a blue cardigan, 파란 하늘 is a blue sky.파란 also mean trouble or turmoil in Korean.
