A Dictionary of Color Combinations

$28

Such a charming book that I often reference for color palette ideas for sketchbook paintings and outfit color combos (but I usually default to neutrals 99% of the time). So Pleasing to flip through. I also have the pt 2!

A definite must for artist, designers, and daydreamers. It’s a tiny book with so much creative power.

I bought this with the intention of using it for art but saw someone use to put together fun colour combos for outfits and now I’m even more excited to use it.

I love part 2 because it references the art the color combos are from! I also have a similar book for traditional Chinese art color combos
