Dancheong refers to Korean traditional decorative coloring on wooden buildings and artifacts for the purpose of style. It literally means “cinnabar and blue-green” in Korean. It is based on five basic colors; blue (east), white (west), red (south), black (north), and yellow (center).Dancheong has various symbolic meanings. Dancheong also represented social status and rank by using various patterns and colors. It functions not only as decoration, but also for practical purposes such as to protect building surfaces against temperature and to make the crudeness of materials less conspicuous. Applying dancheong on the surfaces of buildings require trained skills, and artisans called dancheongjang (단청장) designed the painted patterns.
