A Dictionary of Color Combinations

This book is a proper gem if you’re a visual thinker or someone who struggles to “see” good colour palettes in your head. Originally published in Japan in the 1930s, it’s essentially a collection of beautifully curated, time-tested colour combinations — each one printed cleanly, without explanation, which actually makes it better. It’s not trying to over-analyse, it’s giving you combinations that work, full stop.It’s especially helpful for artists, designers, crafters, or anyone doing visual work like photography or branding. I’ve used it to get ideas for everything from drawing to interior mood boards. And because it’s small and portable, it’s perfect to flick through when you’re stuck or need inspiration. The colours are printed beautifully too — rich and accurate, which makes a big difference. Highly recommended if you want a book that sparks creativity without overwhelming you with colour theory jargon.
