Tasteful Color Combinations
Focusing on "experiencing colors with the five senses," we introduce the world of diverse color combinations in which the senses of sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch all influence each other. By using not only flet color charts but also usefriendly color balls, we enable you to participate in examples of color arragements in a three-dimensional, more experiential way. This is an innovative prototype that can be found only in this book.

Found hidden away on a shelf in the book shop of the Tel Aviv Museum: "Tasteful Color Combinations" by Naomi Kuno. It is not even available on Amazon, that's why I have trouble finding a good web link to it.
The book contains 455 color schemes (with detailed RGB and CMYK codes), organized in 14 chapters each with a different mood. ("Nostalgic and melanchology", "humanistic and natural" to name two). The first edition was published in Japan in 2004, and the English translation is not always perfect, adding to the charm of the book.
Some examples of colors schemes available (exact quotations from the book):
241, Formal Kimono: the color of a patterned formal kimono for a married woman
255, Homely: the cozy warm color of home where a cheerful laugh is always heard
359, Glory and fame: glory and fame never fades away when quality is accompanied. The blue is for glory and the red and gold are for fame.
370, Rococo -1: the elegant rococo period colors of Fragonard's paintings and dresses
111, Ryugu castle: the color of a town of Ryugu castle in a deep sea, where princess Otohime and beautiful fish are said to inhabit, in a legend story of Japanese fantasy.

A beautiful and nicely categorized color book with RGB and CYMK color codes included for every theme.
Highly recommended for anyone who works with digital colors.
