Chinese Traditional Colors

Chinese traditional colors is a collection of colors from Chinese traditional culture.

There's also a sub page about China painting colors.

The website was originaly created by aj_oo 12 years ago. This is the thread he announced the project: https://v2ex.com/t/481.

At the time I was a student in school, I was keen on saving anything I like on the web, that's how the website was kept.

As time goes by, it went down and got abandoned, just like many other good things on the Internet.

I always hate link rot, and since I now have the skill of making website, it's time to refine this website and make it accessible again.
