Like many other countries that have a rainy season, the monsoon season in Seoul, South Korea lasts for about 3 weeks every year. Heavy rainfall every day for weeks can put a major damper on your spirits, and that’s why a team of designers and art directors have teamed up with PANTONE to launch a street art project that will bring a burst of color with each drop of rain.

Titled ‘Project Monsoon,’ colorful murals of fish and turtles will be painted onto the streets of Seoul with hydrochromatic paint, a special formula that will remain invisible until wet.

It is said to have been “inspired by South Korea’s culture of emphasizing the importance of the flow of rivers,” and that “the paintings utilize Korea’s topographical features that create a flow and puddle of rain water in every street to fill the streets with color and life.”

Images were released as a teaser so people will have “something to look forward to this year’s monsoon season.” The finished work is anticipated to look something like this:

Since Japan has quite a long rainy season too, we can only imagine how fun it would be if we also had beautiful murals that show up in the rain!
