The color kobicha (媚茶) is one of the Japanese traditional colors that has been in use since 660 CE in the form of various dyes used in designing kimono.[1][2]

The name Script error: The function "transl" does not exist. comes from the Japanese for the colour of a type of kelp tea, but the word was often used as a synonym for a form of flattery[3][4] in a curious parallel with the English usage brown nosing.
