The color kobicha (媚茶) is one of the Japanese traditional colors that has been in use since 660 CE in the form of various dyes used in designing kimono. [1] [2]
The name kobicha comes from the Japanese for the colour of a type of kelp tea, but the word was often used as a synonym for a form of flattery [3] [4] in a curious parallel with the English usage brown nosing.
