About this combination
Combination 26 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Golden Yellow, Pale Raw Umber, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 26 of Wada's 348 anchors Golden Yellow and Pale Raw Umber in the orange 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 — Golden Yellow on Pale Raw Umber — reaches a contrast ratio of 3.50:1, usable for large text but not body copy, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
