Historical context
Plate 15 of Wada's 348 anchors Benzol Green and Grayish Lavender - A in the blue family — a 2-colour grouping with a refined, cool, austere character, recorded in the Showa-era volumes of Sanzo Wada's 1933 Dictionary of Color Combinations, where these shikisai names have sat in the public domain for generations. Its strongest pairing — Benzol Green on Grayish Lavender - A — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.76:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
