I prefer the (print) quality of the english version of the previous and similar books: “Modern Colors of Japan” and “Traditional Colors of Japan” three books published by TUTTLE publishing. The hex, RGB, CMYK codes are in a little greater font than “365 days of color” and “Story Color Book”. I prefere this size, and even a little greater. I like more the examples/patterns of color schemes in other books. I am not focus on illustrations. But I likely will buy the similar book with red colors in the cover. Excelent packaging. I prefer a cheaper choice for international shipments. Thank you for viewing this product. If you wish to leave a review, please consent to GDPR. Click this link to accept GDPR.
