Inventing Colors
A study on color as identity - Part I
Sakura Pink
Sakura Pink is inspired by the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms.
It embodies calmness, elegance, and ephemerality—designed to adapt across fashion, photography, and product design.
The Birth of Sakura Pink
This color captures the poetry of impermanence—soft and serene, balanced with warm accents.
To define its role, I developed a chromatic framework of “allied” and “contrasting” colors, ensuring consistency across applications.
