- "Expert colorist Teruko Sakurai takes you to the end of the rainbow - and beyond - in this inspiring color dictionary! Over 2,750 traditional Japanese color combinations are presented, organized into 100 different themes associated with the seasons, landscapes and artistic heritage of Japan. Whether it's a shower of pink cherry blossoms, the flutter of a carp flap or the austere and cool tones of Mt. Fuji, flipping the pages of this color dictionary is like taking a stroll through the sensual delights of Japanese culture in all its dazzling tones, hues and palettes. Each two-page section in this richly-illustrated book presents a different theme with the following information: An introduction to the color scheme and a description of how it can be used; A number-coded nine-color palette board showing the range of shades and hues that complement and comprise the scheme; CMYK, RGB and HEX (the color code used in Japan) references for all nine colors; 26 examples including two- and three-color combinations with photos and illustrations. This is an indispensable guide for graphic designers, illustrators, decorators, artists and publishing professionals.
