Discover the fascinating connection between art, science and natural history with the Nomenclature of Colours Single Playing Card Deck from Roomytown.
Inspired by ornithologist Robert Ridgway’s landmark Nomenclature of Colours published in 1886, every card in this deck has been individually designed using the original historic colour swatches that helped standardise the description of bird plumage. The result is a distinctive deck that combines classic card play with beautifully reproduced historical colour references.
Presented in a stylish pull-drawer presentation box, this deck includes 52 playing cards plus 2 Jokers, making it suitable for everyday games while also serving as an attractive gift for artists, designers, collectors and anyone with an interest in colour history.
Designed by the Roomytown team in Bath, England, this deck blends historical inspiration with contemporary design to create a unique addition to any playing card collection.
