“Color” by NCT WISH is an electro-pop song about profound emotional transformation and the hope found in a deep, committed love that goes beyond fleeting, innocent feelings.
Hangul
This is that tone
That color of the prism
We get up (Yes, yes)
In a world where only black and white is beautiful
Shine brighter (Yeah, yeah)
I want to shout a thousand colors
Holding a big paintbrush, oh-oh
Let’s paint this city, oh-oh
The invincible pastel, the sense of genius
Immerse your heart too
somewhere secret
you hid the stars
Pull me playfully (let’s find it together)
Yes, it’s our time (Uh)
Let’s shine (Ayy), softly
When a rainbow appears above the transparent light
It’s my prism time
Hug me, warmly
time passes so quickly
Your color spread like a crayon (Color)
Gold in your eyes, red in your ears
The blue night is amazing, overflowing with light, light it up
with our colors
Bring out the color
whatever I want
Bring out the color (Bring it out, let it shine)
That’s how we do it
I got a feeling (Yeah, yeah)
No need for an eraser
There’s a lot of empty spaces (a lot)
Yes, yes, we pour and spray the paint
Dancing colors, huh
Let’s paint this city, oh-oh
Clumsy drawing, sharp lines
The shade is nice too
I’ll run more
It’s our time (Uh), brilliant (Yeah)
To our colorful world of color
It’s my prism time
Hug me, warmly
time passes so quickly
Your color spread like a crayon (Color)
Gold in your eyes, red in your ears
The blue night is amazing, overflowing with light, light it up
with our colors
(Shine the light) My moment
(Shine the light) Open it now
(Let the light shine) We rise brighter than the moon
(Bring out the color, what I want) The way we shine
(Bring out the color, that’s how we do it)
Rain of overflowing colours
The black night
Beautifully colored (Come on, let’s go)
Miracles are close to us
Hug me, warmly
time passes so quickly
Your color spread like a crayon (Color)
Gold in your eyes, red in your ears
The blue night is amazing, overflowing with light, light it up
with our colors
Bring out the color (bring out)
whatever I want
Bring out the color (Ayy, bring out the colors)
That’s how we make it (shine)
Bring out the color (Eh, eh)
As I want (as I want)
Bring out the color
That’s how we do it (Yeah)

Translation
This is that tone
That color of the prism
We get up (Yes, yes)
In a world where only black and white exists
Shine brighter (Yeah, yeah)
I will shout a thousand colors
Grabbing a big paintbrush, oh, oh
Let’s paint this city, oh, oh
Unbeatable pastel, a brilliant touch
Dive your heart to the bottom
Somewhere secret
You have hidden a star
Teasing me, you attract me (and say, let’s find it together)
Yes, it’s our time (Uh)
Let’s shine (Ayy) softly
When a rainbow rises above the clear light
It’s my prism time
Hold me tight, lots of warmth
Time passes too quickly
Your color spreading like a pastel color (Color)
Paint your eyes gold, your ears rosy pink
The blue night is astonishing, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors
Bring out the color
However I want it
Bring out the color (Bring it out, let it shine)
That’s how we do it
I got a feeling (Yeah, yeah)
No need for an eraser
Lots of empty space (abundance)
Yes, yes, we pour and spray the paint
With this dancing color, uh
Let’s paint this city, oh, oh
Clumsy drawings, crooked lines
Even the shadows, all lovely
I’ll run even further
It’s our time, bright (Uh, yeah)
In our colorful world
It’s my prism time
Hold me tight, lots of warmth
Time passes too quickly
Your color spreading like a pastel color (Color)
Paint your eyes gold, your ears rosy pink
The blue night is astonishing, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors
(Shine the light) My moment
(Shine the light) Now open it
(Let the light shine) We rise brighter than the moon
(Make the color pop, like I want) The way we shine
(Making the color pop, that’s how we do it) An overflowing rain of color
This pitch black night
Tinted with rainbows (Come on, let’s go)
Miracles are right next to us
Hold me tight, lots of warmth
Time passes too quickly
Your color spreading like a pastel color (Color)
Paint your eyes gold, your ears rosy pink
The blue night is astonishing, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors
Bring out the color (bring out)
However I want it
Bring out the color (Ayy, bring out the colors)
That’s how we make it (shine)
Bring out the color (Eh, eh)
However I want (However I want)
Bring out the color
That’s how we do it (Yeah)
NCT WISH “Color” is an electro-pop song that explores emotional transformation through deep and meaningful love. The lyrics describe the shift from light, innocent feelings often associated with “puppy love” to a more genuine and mature connection. Through this relationship, the narrator begins to change and grow, discovering new emotions and perspectives.
The song uses “color” as a central metaphor, representing how love can bring vitality and depth to someone’s life. Just as color transforms something simple into something vivid, the relationship described in the lyrics adds new meaning and energy to the narrator’s world. Lines that emphasize trust and mutual understanding highlight the idea of loving a partner who truly knows and accepts them.
Despite its reflective theme, “Color” maintains a bright and cheerful musical atmosphere. The energetic electro-pop sound complements NCT WISH’s youthful and vibrant image while reinforcing the hopeful message that true love can inspire personal growth and bring a new “color” to life.
