A Dictionary Of Color Combinations Vol 1 (Japanese Edition)

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.

This is my color reference for just about everything, whether you need help combining colors for your outfits or are making design choices , its a great resource. Text and layout is aesthetically appealing from a graphic design perspective too, totally recommend if you need color references for your day to day and love vintage japanese color combinations.

Perfect compact size book was exactly what I was looking for. The book arrived lightning fast and was better than expected. No more guessing what a color combination will look like, this book picks the best possible combinations and gives you a clar picture what it will look like.

Great book for photographers, graphic artists and etc. No reading, Just pure color combination samples. A must book.

I agree with other reviewers that this little book is great - it has a nice feel to it and a great little size. It took me a while to catch on to the organization (all text is in Japanese), but essentially it organizes 159 different colors into combinations of 2, 3, and 4 - then indicates what page it is on for each combination of that color. The back pages of colors are one sided so (I'm guessing) can be cut off into strips to play around with to make your own combinations - or match elsewhere. That makes this part work book, a nice touch! Some of the color combinations allowed me to see my wardrobe a little differently, a very good thing! Some of the color combinations I find to be too weird. However, the reason I got this reference book of colors is because of my own painting compositions and I know it will prove to be useful.

Great gift with a lot of great information

This book opens your eyes to wonderful color combinations!

C'était pour un cadeau. La personne était très contente. Apparemment conforme à ce qu'elle recherchait.

Apesar de pequeno e ter capa simples é um livro referência que deve ser incorporado à sua biblioteca. Um incoveniente é que ele não é totalmente bilíngue. Claro, temos que considerar que as combinações foram concebidas nos anos 30 do século passado e muita coisa já não é tão aplicável.

If you love colour this is for you. I’ve used this to put outfits together and get ideas for colour schemes at home. It doesn’t cover the full range of colours but there are other volumes available. Great fun.

Good

色が 良い意味で渋い 色の組み合わせも洗練されている 今のお化粧や洋服選びに使われるカラーチャートとはちょっと違う 着物などの和物を見るときに参考になると思う 里帰りしていた二男が 東京に持って帰ったので 今は手元にない 息子はフリーランスのアニメーター 仕事に直接関係ないとしても色彩の勉強になるのではと思う
