Jean Philippe Lenclos' "The Geography of Color" was argued on the basis of his lecture in Japan, 2000, and his way of collecting and analyzing colors was briefly reviewed. The main purpose of this article was to propose the linkage of color study and geography for Color Geography as a discipline. It is not a newly born discipline, but rather the one that gathers various color studies having been made under different designs, where geographical or cross-cultural comparison is essential. Such studies must be included into Color Geography as those on local colors and regional natural colors, cross-cultural comparisons of color preference, studies on color names in different languages, as well as the colors of signs in different regions and so on. It is quite stimulating to analyse color phenomenon with geographical points of view. Such an approach will, it seems to the author, produce fruitful outcomes.
