The main contents of the agreement include: joint research and idea development related to the application of universal design; mutual cooperation and support for the implementation of related projects; creative color education for universities and middle and high schools in the district; color design consulting and paint support; and sharing of public design information.

Through this agreement, Samhwa Paint expects to realize universal design with color design applied across public facilities and community spaces, thereby contributing to improving the quality of life for local residents and creating a sustainable urban environment.

Since 2015, Samhwa Paint has been developing and applying color universal design in cooperation with the Korea Color Universal Design Association to assist people with visual difficulties, such as those with color vision deficiency and the elderly. Recently, the company has been expanding its environmental improvement projects by providing color universal design safety color systems at construction sites and industrial facilities, enabling all workers to operate in safer environments.

Sanghee Lee, Head of the Color Design Center at Samhwa Paint, stated, "Through cooperation with Yongsan District, we will take the lead in creating an urban environment that everyone can use safely and comfortably."
