NCT WISH “COLOR” Lyrics

Hangul

This is that tone
That prism color

We stand up (Yeah, yeah)
흑백만 멋있다는 세상에
Shine brighter (Yeah, yeah)
천 개의 색깔을 외칠래
큰 붓 들고, oh-oh
We paint this town, oh-oh
무적의 크레용, 천재적 감
네 맘도 흠뻑 적셔

비밀스런 어딘가
너는 별을 숨겼어
장난스레 나를 당겨 (같이 찾자 해)
그래, it’s our time (Uh)
빛나자 (Ayy), 부드럽게
투명한 빛 위로 무지개가 뜨면
It’s my prism hour

안아줘, 뜨겁게
시간은 너무 빨라
파스텔처럼 번져온 너의 color (Color)
금빛 색을 네 눈에, 귀는 빨갛게
파란 밤이 놀라게, 빛이 넘치게, light it up
우리 색으로

Bring out the color
내 맘대로
Bring out the color (Bring it out, let it shine)
That’s how we do

Got a feeling (Yeah, yeah)
지우개는 필요 없어
빈칸은 많아 (많아)
Yeah, yeah, 물감 쏟고 뿌려보자
춤추는 color, uh
We paint this town, oh-oh
어설픈 드로잉, 삐뚠 그 선
그림자마저 예뻐

나는 더 달릴 거야
It’s our time (Uh), 찬란한 (Yeah)
색으로 물든 우리의 세상으로
It’s my prism hour

안아줘, 뜨겁게
시간은 너무 빨라
파스텔처럼 번져온 너의 color (Color)
금빛 색을 네 눈에, 귀는 빨갛게
파란 밤이 놀라게, 빛이 넘치게, light it up
우리 색으로

(Shine the light) 나의 순간
(Shine the light) 이제 열어
(Shine the light) 우린 달 보다 환히 올라
(Bring out the color, 내 맘대로) The way we glow
(Bring out the color, that’s how we do)
넘쳐나는 color의 샤워

까만 밤이
아름답게 물 들고 (On, we go)
기적은 우리 가까이 있잖아

안아줘, 뜨겁게
시간은 너무 빨라
파스텔처럼 번져온 너의 color (Color)
금빛 색을 네 눈에, 귀는 빨갛게
파란 밤이 놀라게, 빛이 넘치게, light it up
우리 색으로

Bring out the color (Bring it out)
내 맘대로
Bring out the color (Ayy, Bring out the colors)
That’s how we do (Shine bright)
Bring out the color (Eh, eh)
내 맘대로 (내 맘대로)
Bring out the color
That’s how we do (Yeah)

Translation

This is that tone
That prism color

We stand up (Yeah, yeah)
In a world where there is only black and white
Shine brighter (Yeah, yeah)
I’ll shout out a thousand colors
Grabbing a big brush, oh, oh
We paint this town, oh, oh
Unbeatable crayon, a genius touch
Soak your heart through and through

Somewhere secret
You’ve hidden a star
Teasing me, you pull me in (And say, let’s find it together)
Yeah, it’s our time (Uh)
Let’s shine (Ayy) softly
When a rainbow rises over the clear light
It’s my prism hour

Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel color (Color)
Paint golden your eyes, rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors

Bring out the color
However I wanna
Bring out the color (Bring it out, let it shine)
That’s how we do

Got a feeling (Yeah, yeah)
No need for an eraser
Plenty of empty space (Plenty)
Yeah, yeah, let’s pour and splash the paint
With this dancing color, uh
We paint this town, oh, oh
Clumsy drawings, crooked lines
Even the shadows, all lovely

I’ll run even farther
It’s our time, brilliant (Uh, yeah)
Into our world dyed with colors
It’s my prism hour

Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel color (Color)
Paint golden your eyes, rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors

(Shine the light) My moment
(Shine the light) Now throw it open
(Shine the light) We rise brighter than the moon
(Bring out the color, however I wanna) The way we glow
(Bring out the color, that’s how we do) Overflowing shower of color

This pitch-black night
Dyed in rainbows (On, we go)
Miracles are right near us

Hold me tight, so much heat
Time moves too fast
Your color that spreads like pastel color (Color)
Paint golden your eyes, rosy pink your ears
Surprising the blue night, overflowing with light
Light it up with our colors

Bring out the color (Bring it out)
However I wanna
Bring out the color (Ayy, Bring out the colors)
That’s how we do (Shine bright)
Bring out the color (Eh, eh)
However I wanna (However I wanna)
Bring out the color
That’s how we do (Yeah)

NCT WISH “COLOR” Meaning

NCT WISH’s “Color” is an electro-pop track that explores emotional transformation through deep and meaningful love. The lyrics describe a 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 vibrancy and depth into someone’s life. Just as color transforms something plain into something vivid, the relationship described in the lyrics adds new meaning and energy to the narrator’s world. Lines emphasizing trust and mutual understanding highlight the idea of cherishing a partner who truly knows and accepts them.

Despite its reflective theme, “Color” maintains a bright and upbeat musical atmosphere. The energetic electro-pop sound complements NCT WISH’s youthful and lively image while reinforcing the hopeful message that true love can inspire personal growth and bring new “color” to life.
