What is the traditional Japanese color "persimmon color"?

Kakishibu-iro is a dull yellow-red dyed with persimmon tannins and red iron oxide. This color is also called kaki-iro (oyster color) or shibu-iro (sour color). Kakishibu-iro is made by fermenting the juice obtained by squeezing the green flesh of the astringent persimmon, and is dyed using metal salts as mordants. The shibuol contained in persimmon tannins has antiseptic properties, and persimmon-dyed cloth is also known for its antibacterial properties. "Shibu-shi," which is made by layering washi paper coated with persimmon tannins, is waterproof and was also used for raincoats and dyeing stencils.

Persimmon color = Kakishibuiro

Today, the term "persimmon color" refers to the vivid color of ripe persimmons, also known as "terigaki," but persimmon tannin color is a more astringent, subdued color. "Persimmon tannin color" is pronounced kakishibu-iro.
