Traditional Chinese Colors

A working reference built on China's traditional colors — 64 colors curated from the MyBox traditional list, arranged on the five-phase (wuxing) spine: wood greens and blues, fire reds, earth yellows and browns, metal whites, water inks and blacks. Every color carries its hex, its closest Pantone*, and the nearest Bambu Lab, SUNLU, and Polymaker filament so a pairing on this page can go straight into the printer. All 24 combinations are original to this reference, and every one of them is printable in close or workable matches from all three brands.

The Combinations — 24

Proportions are the recipe: the first color leads, the last is the accent. The % bar shows the split; the filament under each name is what to load.
