A Dictionary Of Color Combinations Vol 1 (Japanese Edition)

Absolutely love this book would highly recommend for people who love color and are interested in Japanese history.

I purchased A Dictionary of Color Combinations Vol. 1 as a gift for my wife, who studied art, and she absolutely loved it. The book is a visually rich, thoughtfully organized reference that offers timeless and unique color palettes drawn from traditional Japanese design principles. Each page presents carefully selected color combinations that spark creativity and serve as inspiration for any kind of visual work—painting, design, fashion, or interior styling. The minimalist layout makes it not just practical but also beautiful to flip through. Whether you’re a trained artist, designer, or simply someone who appreciates the power of color, this book is a highly rewarding and elegant resource. It makes a fantastic gift and a lasting addition to any creative library. Strongly recommended.

I go to this book every single day for some outfit ideas. It’s fantastic!

Came in on time and well boxed. This book is a fantastic asset to anyone who seeks to express their creativity, in fashion and in design, but has a problem with color matching. Beautifully presented in this book is exactly what you want, color profiles in a seemingly endless variety.

exactly as described

A near pocket-sized, straightforward color combination book. I like how the colors are sectioned and named.

This is a wonderful book. 5 stars for the book. 0 stars for Amazon, however. This item is listed as “Ships from Amazon,” but it took weeks before it even shipped, and it seems to me that the book actually came from Japan (there is a receipt inside in Japanese). Secondly, Amazon put one of their stickers on the book cover, guaranteeing that the fragile cover get ruined when the sticker is removed.

Great little book with tons of color inspiration and info. Small format and somewhat thin paper stock.

Génial ! Je rénove mon appartement et ce bouquin permet d'aider pour associer au mieux les couleurs et s'éloigner du blanc / beige sans âme !

Très utile

Good

Ótimo! Chegou direitinho no Brasil.

A remarkable composite of colour swatches in 2,3, and 4 colour grouping variations that any creative person, artist, or patron of the arts can find useful, inspiring, and or helpful within their craft or as a means to simply better understand the colours. I recommend getting both editions as the second edition contains samples of colours and how they may appear on every day materials like clothes and wares (albeit from the 1930s). However, this first edition, alone, provides a remarkable foundation. I am so glad I came across this! Highly recommend.
