## What is JapanColors?

This app is a beautifully crafted reference for traditional Japanese colors. From Sakura pink and Indigo blue to Edo purple, it features over 1,000 hues rooted in centuries of Japanese culture. Each color includes its name, reading (in romaji or hiragana), HEX code, and a cultural description—available in both English and Japanese.

Colors are presented as full-screen cards with elegant typography and subtle UI. You can explore not only base colors but also automatically generated variations such as Light, Deep, Pale, Dark, Gray, Ancient, Rusted, Washed, Vivid, Scorched, and Kyoto tones—each derived from the original hue.

With a single tap, you can save any color as a wallpaper. The image is added to your photo library and can be set as your lock or home screen background.

This app is perfect for anyone who appreciates Japanese aesthetics, including designers, artists, kimono lovers, and cultural enthusiasts. It offers a unique experience of exploring Japan’s seasonal beauty, historical depth, and emotional resonance through color.

Key Features:
・Over 1,000 traditional Japanese colors
・Auto-generated derivative tones (e.g., Light, Deep, Kyoto)
・Bilingual descriptions and readings (EN/JP)
・Elegant card-based UI
・Wallpaper export
