Japandi Color Palette
Japandi pairs Japanese restraint with Scandinavian warmth. The palette is short, low-saturation, and material-driven — light unbleached cloth, washed wood, a single indigo accent, ink-black structure.

How each color earns its place.
02Design notes
- No more than one saturated color. Indigo is the one allowed accent.
- Surface should dominate — kinari + shironeri together carry 60–70% of the palette area.
- For UI, this palette suits home goods, hospitality, slow-design e-commerce, and editorial layouts.
03FAQ
Is Japandi the same as wabi-sabi?
No. Wabi-sabi is an older aesthetic about imperfection and age. Japandi is a modern interiors fusion that adopts Japanese restraint with Scandinavian warmth and clean lines.
Can Japandi palettes use cool blues?
Yes, sparingly. Use one cool accent — typically indigo or muted denim-blue — not multiple cool tones competing.
