Finding colors that truly work together is often trickier than it seems.
Between combinations that feel too bland and those that clash, we often end up spending hours scrolling through Pinterest in search of the perfect match…
What if we told you that there is a miracle book, more than 100 years old, that does all the work for you?
In this article, we reveal everything about this cult book and the most beautiful palettes we have drawn from it.
What is “A dictionary of color combinations?”
First published in the 1930s, A dictionary of color combinations was created by Sanzo Wada, a Japanese designer and teacher.
His idea? Bringing together in a single work hundreds of color combinations that work every time: some soft and natural, others bold, but always harmonious and timeless.
Each page is a little gem of inspiration. Whether you’re a creative soul, an aspiring decorator, a stylist, or simply a color enthusiast, this book has the power to guide you!
It continues to inspire our graphic designers, who use it to imagine the designs of our wallpapers. 🎨
