About this combination

Combination 29 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Krongbergs Green, Salvia Blue, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 29 of Wada's 348 anchors Krongbergs Green and Salvia Blue in the yellow 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 — Krongbergs Green on Salvia Blue — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.61:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
