About this combination
Combination 45 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Seashell Pink, Lemon Yellow, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 45 of Wada's 348 anchors Seashell Pink and Lemon Yellow in the orange family — a 2-colour grouping with a serene, 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 — Seashell Pink on Lemon Yellow — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.12:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
