Sanzo Color Palettes brings the legendary work of Japanese artist and designer Sanzo Wada (1883-1967) to your mobile device. Wada was a pioneer of modern color usage, and his foundational research is preserved in the seminal works, A Dictionary of Color Combinations Volume 1 and Volume 2.

HISTORICAL DEPTH MEETS MODERN UTILITY The app serves as a digital companion to A Dictionary of Color Combinations, providing instant access to palettes themed on the Japanese seasons, traditional aesthetics, and early-to-mid twentieth-century fashion and graphic design.
