This study interpreted the chemicals of the pigments and the coloring techniques employed on Youngsan Ritual Ceremony Buddhist Painting through a nondestructive analysis method and a microscopic observation. Based on the interpretation, this study closely examined the chemical properties of the names of the coloring materials specified on the ceremonial writing of the Buddhist painting. It is estimated that lead white was used for the white pigments, orpiment and organic pigment for the yellow pigment, cinnabar/vermilion, minium, red ochre, and red dyes for the red pigments, malachite or atacamite for the green pigments, azurite and indigo for the blue pigments, and ink stick for the black pigments. The pigment names specified on the ceremonial writing are juhong, jungcheong, hayeop, whangdan, and whanggeum, and it was verified that juhong is cinnabar or vermilion, jungcheong is azurite, hayeop is malachite or atacamite, whangdan is minium, and whanggeum is a gold foil.

This study surveyed color awareness and color systems according to pedigree(Ilseob, Woljoo, Hyegak, Manbong ect.) targeting Dancheongjang (craftsman) who has inherited Dancheong (traditional multicolor). From the survey of color awareness, standardized color system of 'traditional color' awareness by Dancheongjang is 'the color inherited by the master' and it was identified that there is the standardized color system in awareness and its standard is either same or similar to traditional Dancheong. Also, according to each period, colors of Dancheong have been changed, it was thought that change in color materials and preference had went with times. From eleven main colors of Dancheong, chromaticity materials which were preferred by Dancheongjang were analyzed by the faction of Dancheongjang and colors and it resulted in a variety of color ranges over all. In the case of Yangnok, Noerok, Juhong it showed a high deviation with a wide color range while there was a low deviation with a narrow color range in Hayeop, Daja, Seokganju. Through this study it was difficult to identify clear correlations and tendencies of color system by the faction of Dancheongjangs. This is judged to be a reflection of the subjective artistry of the members.
