Why ancient Joseon aristocrats loved to wear brightly colored clothes

Hello,

North Korea is supposed to like to wear white clothes, nowadays TV dramas just to give the audience a visual enjoyment to make the actors wear more brightly colored.

The white color of the Joseon people has a lot to do with the fact that the Yin people wore white. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Min Zi, who did not want to accept the partition of King Wu's kingdom, came to the Korean Peninsula with his surviving ministers to establish Min Zi Joseon, and at the same time, he also brought the custom of the Yin people's white color to Joseon, and the Joseons claimed to be descended from Min Zi. Although this theory is not very credible, but traditionally, the Korean and Yin people belong to the East Barbarians, and Shangbai was one of the characteristics of the lineage.

Until now, the color of Korean clothing is still white.

I hope my answer to you can help, hope to adopt, thank you
