About this combination
Combination 47 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Etruscan Red, Grayish Lavender - B, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 47 of Wada's 348 anchors Etruscan Red and Grayish Lavender - B 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 — Etruscan Red on Grayish Lavender - B — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.03:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
