About this combination
Combination 43 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Corinthian Pink, Aconite Violet, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 43 of Wada's 348 anchors Corinthian Pink and Aconite Violet 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 Aconite Violet — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.40:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
