Product Description

This compact color scheme sample book contains 348 patterns of modern color schemes from the Taisho to early Showa periods, brought back to life in the modern age. The concept of "color schemes" was not generally recognized until the Taisho and early Showa eras, when the need for color was first acknowledged. Sanzo Wada was one of the pioneers in recognizing this need and created an epoch-making "color scheme sample book" that showcased specific color scheme patterns. This book is a reprint of the famous "Color Scheme General Guide" in a new and revised edition.

The color schemes included in this book are not only materials from the Taisho and Showa periods but also possess a universal sensibility that can be utilized even today. It includes 348 color schemes, complete with CMYK values and color chips for all color tables. This makes it ideal for color coordinators, interior design coordinators, and others involved in research and practical use in various fields.
