Bringing Traditional Japanese Colors to the Digital Age

Nippon Colors is more than just a color reference tool — it’s a celebration of centuries of Japanese aesthetics. The app showcases over 250 traditional colors, each carefully curated and digitally rendered with historical accuracy. Every color includes its name in kanji, hiragana, and romaji, allowing users to experience the poetic essence of each shade.

Our goal has always been to create a digital archive that honors the elegance and cultural significance of traditional Japanese hues. These colors are deeply rooted in nature, literature, and daily life — from the delicate pink of cherry blossoms (sakura) in spring to the deep blue of indigo-dyed (ai) textiles that have been treasured for generations.

Why This Feature Matters

Being selected as an Editor’s Choice means that Apple recognizes Nippon Colors as one of the most outstanding apps in its category. This prestigious selection underscores our commitment to craftsmanship, usability, and cultural education. The spotlight helps introduce our work to a broader audience, from graphic designers and artists to educators and enthusiasts of Japanese culture.

The App Store editorial team highlighted how the app elegantly bridges traditional Japanese values with a modern user experience — a fusion that lies at the core of our philosophy at CODEBIT INC.

"Nippon Colors beautifully preserves Japan's traditional color sensibilities in a thoughtfully designed digital experience."
