FAQ

What is birthday color cafein?

It refers to the popular Japanese idea that each day of the year corresponds to a color — widely known through the original cafein.jp chart and similar sites.

How is my birthday color decided here?

We assign a traditional Japanese color to each of the 366 calendar days (including February 29) with a deterministic map. The same birthday always returns the same color.

Can two people share the same birthday color?

Yes. With a curated palette smaller than 366 unique hues, some days share a color. Sharing a color is a gentle thread of kinship, not a rare claim.

How is this different from cafein.jp?

The original cafein.jp table is a hand-curated chart. Ours is an independent rebuild with traditional Japanese color names, bilingual traits, and a garden-inspired reveal experience.

Can I use these colors in my own work?

Yes. Traditional color names and hex values are shared cultural heritage. Feel free to use any hex in your projects.
