About this combination
Combination 27 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Corinthian Pink, Slate Color, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 27 of Wada's 348 anchors Corinthian Pink and Slate Color 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 — Corinthian Pink on Slate Color — reaches a contrast ratio of 5.90:1, meeting the WCAG AA bar for body text, so it holds up for text-on-colour layouts as well as decorative use.
