Roomytown Jotter Block - Nomenclature of Colours

Bring a sense of curiosity and colour to everyday note-taking with this beautifully crafted Jotter Block, inspired by Ridgway’s Nomenclature of Colors — the influential 1886 colour reference guide created by ornithologist Robert Ridgway to help describe the colours of birds, plants, and the natural world with greater precision. Featuring carefully arranged vintage colour swatches, the design celebrates the artistry and scientific curiosity of historic colour theory.

Thoughtfully reimagined by Roomytown’s design team in Bath, UK, the historic botanical artwork wraps around the edges of all 250 perforated sheets, creating a sculptural block of colour and pattern that transforms even the simplest desk accessory into an object of beauty.

Finished with a fabric-bound spine, brass rivets, and elegant gold foil detailing, it’s designed to be both practical and decorative — perfect for shopping lists, daily notes, sketches, and thoughtful correspondence.
