Korean is known as ‘the race with white dresses,’ in short, white-clad people. However, red is the most referred color but the four other colors white, black, blue and yellow have been referred according to checking by a word-checker Wortschatz. So Korean people are most interested in 'red' color and also white in the second. The statistics show that Korean, German, Chinese and Italian refer to 'red' mostly, while French and Mongolian refer to 'black' mostly. The other languages like English, Russian, Rumanian, Spanish and Portuguese usually refer 'white' most highly. Color psychology as shown in the later part may be always applied to each group respectively.
