espectro.dev

About the Project

espectro.dev was built to bring the physical experience of Sanzo Wada's Dictionary of Color Combinations into the digital browser. While the physical book is a masterpiece of print, it can be hard to translate those colors immediately into web design or digital art.

This project offers:

• Digital Translation: Hex, RGB, CMYK, and L*a*b* values for every classic combination.
• Context Awareness: Tailwind CSS and CSS variable export for immediate developer use.
• Open API: A free JSON API for programmatic access to all 159 colors and 348 combinations.
• MCP Integration: Use our color data directly from AI coding assistants via the MCP protocol.

Credits. The JSON dataset of 159 colours and 348 combinations is sourced from mattdesl/dictionary-of-colour-combinations, which compiles palettes from Sanzo Wada’s book and is available under the MIT license.
