Colors in Korean

Today we will learn color names in Korean language.

Color is called 색 (saek) or 색깔 (saekkal) in Korean.

Before learning all the colors in Korean, let’s see how we can use them in a sentence.

Let’s take Red for our example.

Red is 빨간색 (Palgan-saek) in Korean.

Example Sentence:

My cap is red – 제 모자는 빨간색이에요 (Je moja-neun palgan-saek-iyeyo).

When you want to use colors before the noun you can remove the 색 and just use 빨간.

This is a red cap – 이것은 빨간 모자예요.

Now let’s learn some common colors in Korean. You can learn the correct pronunciation of the words in the video below.
