Celebrate the fascinating history of colour with the Nomenclature of Colors 500 Piece Puzzle, designed by Roomytown in their studio in Bath, UK. Inspired by ornithologist Robert Ridgway’s pioneering colour reference guide published in 1886, this striking design brings together hundreds of carefully arranged colour swatches originally created to standardise the description of birds and the natural world. From soft mineral blues to rich ochres and vivid crimsons, each shade offers a glimpse into the artistry and scientific curiosity of the Victorian era.
Printed in rich colour and presented in a beautifully designed keepsake box, this 500-piece rectangular puzzle offers a satisfying and immersive activity for slow afternoons, cosy evenings, or gifting. With its bold grid layout and spectrum of vintage hues, it makes a distinctive choice for artists, designers, puzzle lovers, and anyone with a love of colour and historical design.
