A short-form series on the color wheels you've never heard of, and why they were built. Each episode covers one wheel: what problem it was solving, who made it, and what it gets right or wrong. New episodes every Wednesday.

PCCS (Practical Color Co-ordinate System) is a stand-out example of a non-Western color theory system. Developed by the Japan Color Research Institute in 1964, PCCS builds on the Munsell color solid, and adds something new: a named system of "tones" that lets designers navigate color combinations by feel. In this episode I also cover Shigenobu Kobayashi's Color Image Scale (developed independently just two years later), and ask why two Japanese researchers working at the same time arrived at the same solution. This is episode 17 of Color Wheel Wednesday! New episode every week. Keep the suggestions coming :) #colortheory #colorwheel #japan
