A Dictionary of Color CombinationsA Dictionary of Color Combinations features a collection of 384 different color combinations, based on Sanzo Wada's original 6 volume work from the 1930s. 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.
