How to say "burgundy" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounCovers the color sense: the deep red named after the wine. A katakana loanword and a less common choice; typical contexts include describing the color of clothing or accessories.
- ワイン色ワインいろnounAlso covers the color sense, likewise as a less common choice. Literally 'wine color', the image is transparent to Japanese readers; a clear way to name this dark red for clothes or interiors.
- nounA French loanword, not a color word: it names the wine Burgundy and the Burgundy region (Bourgogne). For the color sense of 'burgundy' this is not the word you want.
For the dark red color, choose between 「バーガンディー」 and 「ワイン色」, which both name that wine-red shade; 「ブルゴーニュ」 refers only to the French wine or region, not the color.
