Beautiful colour combinations.
This book is absolutely beautiful. Stunning. The colour combinations are perfect. If you are looking to decorate and are wanting a reference of what colours go well together just buy this book. Or if you love things Japanese buy it too. It was posted out fast to me and arrived in perfect condition.

Great value for whoever uses colours in their work
I found this really interesting, as my wife uses it in her work with textiles, but I've used it in colour grading for my photography hobby

What a gorgeous little book!
I was a bit disappointed when I opened this, but soon changed my mind. This is a delightful little book constructed from beautiful paper and a joy to look at. It has colours listed by month, but there is far more to it. There are lots of gorgeous colour palettes to inspire you and they have even included sticky colour tabs at the back to stick onto your page. I think the colours are very similar to the Kuretake paints, which I have. I will use this a lot.

Colour schemes for creative designs
This is an excellent item for helping with colour matching, both complementary colours and contrasting colours for designs. The cut out colours at the back enable you to create your own colour schemes inspired by the information in the dictionary. Thoroughly recommended.

Une référence incontournable pour tous ceux qui travaillent avec les couleurs
Les deux volumes forment un duo complémentaire indispensable. Chaque planche présente des combinaisons de couleurs avec leurs codes — une source d'inspiration directe pour le design, la déco ou l'impression. L'ouvrage japonais original est traduit avec soin, la qualité d'impression est au niveau. Un outil que l'on consulte régulièrement plutôt qu'on ne le lit d'un trait. Expédition rapide, livraison soignée. Un achat que je ne regrette absolument pas.

What a beautiful second edition account of colours and the way they may be presented in every day objects and materials. A truly remarkable set of combinations in a sort of manifest any sort of artist or designer in any single capacity could find useful, interesting, or at minimum, inspiring. Highly recommend this and the first edition.
