## What is Nippon Colors?

Nippon Colors is a carefully curated collection of traditional Japanese colors that have been used across centuries in literature, kimono textiles, painting, and a wide range of traditional crafts. These colors reflect the aesthetic sensitivity and seasonal awareness deeply embedded in Japanese culture.

Many of the color names are derived from the natural world—plants, flowers, minerals, and animals—whose tones or symbolic meanings inspired their use. Some hues and dyeing techniques can be traced as far back as the Asuka and Heian periods, while others were refined or introduced during the Edo and Meiji periods with the rise of synthetic dyes.

Due to the long and diverse history of these color traditions, slight variations in hue and naming may exist across eras and regions. A number of the names also have roots in classical Chinese culture, whose sophisticated hierarchical color system influenced Japan’s own aesthetic developments.

In addition to exploring color history, Nippon Colors now includes Saizō, a creative atelier feature powered by AI. Saizō allows you to transform your personal photos into Japanese-style digital artworks using only authentic traditional colors. Each image is securely processed, with all original and generated data deleted after the generation session ends.

Note:
■ Swipe left or right to switch colors.
■ Double tap to add a color to the Palette.
■ Swipe up or long press on the main screen to access the main menu, where you can explore all Nippon Colors, manage your Palettes, and enter the Color Atelier.

### 1/5 — どこが？

*2025-07-08, version 4.1.1*

一覧が表示できず、探してると有料サイトへの誘導やら中華アプリへの誘導やらで疲れました、無料だけど時間が勿体無いと感じて即削除

### 4/5 — とても良いが広告が多すぎる

*2025-04-17, version 3.3.0*

2年くらい使用させていただいております。素敵なアプリをありがとうございます。
この度iPhoneを新しくしまして、そちらにもインストールしたところ広告が以前よりも多くなっていました。もちろん広告を挿入することはある程度収入において仕方がないことだろうとは思いますが、それでも多すぎると思います。色を共有しようとすると広告。30秒の広告を見終わった頃には色は勝手に違うものに変わって、それを共有している。自動スイッチ機能をオフにすれば良いわけですが、共有する色が変わっているのは気になりますし、共有の度に広告が入るのは多すぎるかと思います。
画面を上にスワイプして出てくる白い画面にバナー広告を設置するなど、長い広告をどうにか避けていただきたいです。

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-12-23*

Great app and concept. Love the colors, however user interactions and performance can use some optimization. 

Often time I found it slow to interact with the app and requires multiple swipe to get it to work.

### 1/5 — 求めたものが何もなかった

*2022-12-04, version 3.1.2*

Adobeと互換性ないのになんであるように書くの？？写真やイラストから和の色を抽出してくれる素敵な機能があるかと思ったらない。何より非常に非常に非常に非常にわかりづらい・使いづらいでびっくりした。わかりづらいオブザイヤーどころか過去1を争う。iPadではとくに使いづらかった。iPhoneはまだましだけど欲しい機能がなさすぎたのでアンストします。

### 5/5 — 圧倒的にいい！だが…

*2022-06-06, version 3.1.1*

370¥のおやつを買っても広告が現れるバグを確認しました
直してくれると幸いです

### 5/5 — 大好き(о´∀`о)

*2022-02-13*

I love this app, especially when I see colors that I absolutely love 🙂 thanks to the people who worked hard on creating this app, another thing is I love and study the Japanese language and this app shows the name of the color, is just amazing 🤩🙂

### 1/5 — 見づらい

*2022-01-19, version 3.1.0*

イライラします

### 4/5 — 色が変わらない

*2021-12-30, version 3.1.0*

たくさんの色を眺めるのが好きなので、とても良いアプリに出会えました。
ただ1点、ウィジェットの色が変更されないことだけが気になります。アプリを開くと毎回違う色になるんですが、ウィジェットはセットしたときの色のまま変わりません。
その他は今のところ不満はありません。

### 2/5 — 広告の音が急に流れるのやめてほしい

*2021-12-28, version 3.1.0*

静かなところでこのアプリを開いていたら急に
「キュンキュンしたい！！！！！あなたに！」
とかいう、気持ち悪くて興味のない広告が音ありで流れました。
そんなの知らなかったのでびっくりしました。静かに日本の伝統色を楽しめると思っていたのに、突然に音が流れるなんて、
使う人の場面を考えてくれてないんですね。

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2021-10-07, version 3.0.1*

検索できない。
ほんと使えない。
