Thanks, Gerardo! I am so glad you found the chart useful! I have had it since 2007 and published in several of my books, but your email prompted me to post it for everyone. I did the color distribution virtually by playing with colors on my drawing software with some educated guess. It ended up being fun! The 3-color icosahedron and dodechedron were the most challenging. Meenakshi, I wanted to offer you an idea. There are too many single > and duo-colored kusudamas in the world. I think it's because most of > us couldn't find how to symmetrically arrange different color units > together. If more people knew about your chart there would probably be > more multicolor kusudamas in the world. While multiple colors look nice, some modulars are actually better with a single color, or duo colored paper. If there are flowery designs involved, they actually look nice if all petals are in a single color. But for some modulars such as polypolyhedra (wireframes) or more geometric designs, multiple colors are nice. So how about making a > campaign, for example on social media?

That way more will know. > What do you think Meenakshi? I'd really like to see a lot more > multicolor kusudamas : ) That’s very kind of you. You’re welcome to create hashtags as long as you include #origamee, and start the campaign. I am not that much on social media, only a little. Please also feel free to publish in Neorigami.
