This study reviews the differentiation strategy on the growth trend of organic milks against standard milks by analyzing differences of color characteristics of standard and organic milks of Korean dairy companies. Seven dairy companies (Kokkuk Dairy, Namyang Dairy, Dongwon Dairy Food, Maeil Dairy, Samyang Foods, Yonsei University Milk, Pasteur) selling both standard and organic milks are selected for this study's subjects. The analysis result shows that, first, the frequency of B color is the highest and definitive colors in high chroma tones are appeared on standard milk packages. In the meanwhile, on organic milk packages, YG and O colors show higher frequency while natural and comfort feelings are expressed with colors in low chroma tones. Second, in IRI image scale, standard and organic milks are positioned at the common point on the Y axis, but show opposing result on the X axis. This result shows that color characteristics of packages for Korean dairy company's standard and organic milks are clearly separated. This study will become an useful material to analyze the emotional strategy on existing package colors for Korean dairy companies before introducing new products.
