Note: Traditional Korean decorative coloring done on wooden buildings and structures, such as royal palaces and temples. Its usual function was to cover design defects and prevent cracks in wooden buildings, in addition to repelling pests and protecting from rain and wind. Since dancheong is based on yin and yang and the Five Elements Theory, blue is placed to the east, red south, yellow center, white west and black north, in addition to green. In South Korea, the color pigments with specific color index numbers are standardized by the state.
