About this combination
Combination 38 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Diamine Green, Deep Lyons Blue, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 38 of Wada's 348 anchors Diamine Green and Deep Lyons Blue in the green family — a 2-colour grouping with a solemn, 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 — Diamine Green on Deep Lyons Blue — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.67:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
