About this combination
Combination 17 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Eugenia Red | B, Sea Green, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 17 of Wada's 348 anchors Eugenia Red | B and Sea Green in the red family — a 2-colour grouping with a refined, warm, 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 — Eugenia Red | B on Sea Green — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.50:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
