This post is a part of a series of K-Pop Color Palettes. You can find a full list in the original post: Colors of K-Pop.
Wonder Girls – I Feel You
This song screams 80’s synth pop reminiscent of Exposé’s “Point of No Return” and the visuals of Robert Palmer’s “Simply Irresistible.” (I realize I’m dating myself.) The “Barbie” pastels and neon lights color the set to blues and berry that compliment the ladies’ deadpan / doll-like moves, while red lends a sultry contrast.

Yesung – Pink Magic
Yesung’s airy vocals create a sweet atmosphere to this 80’s-influenced bubblegum pop song. The colors fit the feel-good bop with bright pinks, teals, pastel yellow, and cantaloupe — It’s as if they pulled the colors out of an episode of Saved by the Bell.

Day6 – Days Gone By
Day6 does not disappoint with this 80’s aesthetic. It’s as if you are transported back in time when New Wave music was getting popular with it’s heavy synth on keys and percussion. The colors contrast iridescence and bold hues just like the song moves from happy major to contemplative minor chords.
