Wada Dictionary of Colors

iOS Universel / Graphisme et design

Wada Colors is a pocket reference inspired by A Dictionary of Color Combinations. Compiled by Sanzo Wada — Japanese painter, costume designer, and educator — the original archive paired 582 color combinations from 330 named historical pigments.

This app brings Wada's color sensibility to your phone.

A Dictionary of Color Combinations was Wada's working reference — a book of historical pigments, paired with care, used by Japanese fashion, graphic, and craft designers for nearly a century. Wada Colors brings that archive close.
