In 2010 Seigensha reprinted this classic as A Dictionary of Color Combinations, which was applauded by Die Zeit as a source of inspiration filled with a captivating array of “hues we didn't even know existed". Now, following on that enduring bestseller, A Dictionary of Color Combinations 2 brings back two more works by Wada published in 1935–1936 and 1938,respectively. The book presents 72 color patterns themed on the Japanese seasons and another 165 drawn from early to mid-twentieth-century fashion, interior, and graphic design, making it an indispensable reference for designers, fashion and interior specialists, illustrators, photographers, writers, and indeed anyone engaged in creative work. [Featuring] ・72 combinations of three to seven colors themed on the twelve months of the Japanese year, valuable as an inspiration source for design, kimono and other apparel, and interiors ・165 color combinations from fashion, interior, and graphic design that capture the ambience of 1910s to 1930s Japan for illustrators and others seeking to re-create the authentic look and feel of the period ・Color names in Japanese and English ・172 removable color chips Sanzo Wada (1883–1967)'s interest in the importance of color prompted him to found the Japan Standard Color Association (present-day Japan Color Research Institute) in 1927. Active not only as a color researcher but also as an artist, fashion designer, and stage and film art director, he received the 1954 Academy Award for Best Costume Design for Gate of Hell and was recognized as a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government in 1958. Review: Great book and a million uses! - This works perfect to help create outfits that are perfectly coordinated! I grab one thing I really want to wear, find that color in the book, and then match everything else to the other colors. My daughter also uses it for paintings and art projects. Review: Like the other one (Vol 1) but different (Vol 2) with more. - Volume 2 continues the great color combinations of the 1st Volume, but the combinations are more complex, with more colors. There's even a section of art in the form of paintings, prints, woven work, etc. that you see on one page while on the opposite page is the breakdown of the colorations in bars with no image. What this does is show how the art works, and then how the combinations also work. Also more of the simplified 2 and 3 combinations that I think I prefer as more minimal. Again, these are ranged from light and airy to darkly saturated -and all curiously satisfying and worth study and trying them out. On the computer it's possible to match any tone or hue, so there's a path that only requires finding the right starting color then paying attention to the combination. Not that it's an end-all, but a beginning. Any of those can be shifted or modified with ease but it depends on how they fit a real-time application and not a formula. But the horizons have already been expanded so there's more, and even more. ## Features - Brand: Seigensha Art Publishing - Dictionary Of Color Combinations Volume 2 - Brand: GARDNERS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,464 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,337 Reviews | ## Images ![Dictionary Of Color Combinations Volume 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610QKBj4NLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book and a million uses! *by J***Y on March 25, 2026* This works perfect to help create outfits that are perfectly coordinated!
