Spring Color Palettes
Cherry blossom, young bamboo, the first green of the year.
Sakura pinks, wakatake greens, the pale blues of thawing streams. Spring in the Japanese color tradition is the softest possible register — no neon, no saturation, just the quiet confidence of light returning. Perfect for wellness brands, beauty packaging, editorial spring collections, wedding stationery, and anything that needs optimism without cliché.
