色の説明

梅幸茶（ばいこうちゃ）とは、茶みを含んだ淡い萌黄色のことです。歌舞伎の大立者であった初代尾上菊五郎（俳名：梅幸）の好みの色ということから命名された色名です。彼の衣装は華やかで舞台も賑やかだったようです。当時は浅葱色が全盛でしたがそれと全く違った萌黄色を打ち出したのは、個性を強調するためだったのでしょう。梅幸茶は通人の贔屓客の間で喜ばれ、天保の頃まで流行したそうです。尾上菊五郎は京都生まれで始めは女形として舞台に立ちましたが、後に江戸に下り立役に転じて人気を集めました。ただ、その人気は彼の美貌よりも達者な芸にあったようです。梅幸茶の渋みを含んだ色合にも芸風に通じる鮮やかさがあります。『手鑑模様節用』では、草柳という色の別名とされており、茶色と名がつくものの実際は黄緑系の色でした。
