A DICTIONARY OF COLOR COMBINATIONS

Color Theory / Art / Design. Seigensha, 2011. Paperback, full color, 354 pages. 4.5"x6"

Based on Sanzo Wada's original 6-volume work from the 1930s, this book offers 348 color combinations, as attractive and sensuous as the book’s own design.

Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) was an artist, teacher, costume and kimono designer during a turbulent time in avant-garde Japanese art and cinema. Wada was ahead of his time in developing traditional and Western influenced color combinations, helping to lay the foundations for contemporary color research.
