I have a question: A few years back I had read on a couple or three different sites that purple was considered a lighter form of black. Is that so? I can’t seem to find any references to it now, it’s like they’ve all up and vanished. I thought perhaps I had mistaken it for a feng shui belief, but it looks like the lighter form of black is blue in feng shui (black being the more powerful representation of the element water). If you can enlighten me or direct me where I could find more information, I would be most grateful.

Thanks for the comment, Adam. I tried to focus on advanced colors, but you’re right; I should have included those two. I’ll go back and add them later on.

You missed out koniro and shuiro (sorry no kana on this interface) as far as specifically Japanese colours, those to me are the most japanesey. I studied traditional Japanese tattooing in japan for seven years and those two were by far the most ubiquitous.
