About this combination

Combination 44 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Light Porcelain Green, Olympic Blue, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 44 of Wada's 348 anchors Light Porcelain Green and Olympic Blue in the blue 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 — Light Porcelain Green on Olympic Blue — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.01:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
