The concept of the Geography of Color© has given rise for more than 20 years to numerous reference works, written by Jean-Philippe Lenclos and his wife, Dominique. These books are now authoritative on the links between architecture and color. This conservatory of color has proven to be a fantastic reference tool, serving the respect of places, their identity and their charm.
