The Yin and Yang Five Elements Philosophy is one of the oldest philosophies of the East. It contains a deep understanding of nature and color that Orientals have. However, the philosophy of Yin and Yang has been treated as an unscientific and shamanic realm. This study aims to develop and develop the philosophy of Yin and Yang as a color system. This study is related to the philosophy of Yin and Yang, published during the Yang Dynasty of China. Literature research was conducted on the basis of Oh Haengdaeui. The appropriate color values of the five elements were studied in correspondence with the purest colors in the modern sense. This study colorfully visualizes the process of change of the five elements: wood, fire, soil, metal, and water. The change lies in the rotation in the right direction, where the five elements of the five elements help each other, and in the rotation in the left direction, where the five elements of the five elements help each other. The five elements of the Five Elements intermingled with each other to determine the changing colors. As a result, it was found that the five elements of the five elements change color in 10 different ways. It was three changes between chromatic colors, three changes in achromatic white and three chromatic colors, three changes in achromatic black and three chromatic colors, and one change between achromatic white and achromatic black. The Western color system is based on an achromatic axis and a color wheel. However, it can be seen that the change of color in the Yin and Yang Five Events is expressed through the rotation of achromatic and chromatic colors together in the right direction and the left direction.
