We’ve been working with a thoughtful, community-focused architecture practice in the States to form a fitting new identity for their organisation. Colour plays a big role, and we’ve been using our copy of A Dictionary of Color Combinations a lot.

Based on Sanzo Wada’s original 6-volume work from the 1930s, this copy has over 348 striking and pleasing colour combinations. It’s one of our go-tos.

Sanzo Wada was an artist, teacher, costume and kimono designer. Ahead of his time, he developed traditional and Western influenced colour combinations – laying the foundations for contemporary colour research.
