Colour studies using Sanzo Wada’s Dictionary of Colour Combinations.

Starting in May 2020 I used Sanzo Wada’s Dictionary of Colour Combinations as inspiration for a new project introducing colour to my paper work for the first time. The book is made up of two, three and four colour combinations drawn from Japanese design and publishing in the early 20th century.

All of the colour combinations measure about 3 x 3 x 3cm and can be found in the Paperholm archive.
