About this combination
Combination 54 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Benzol Green, Light Glaucous Blue, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 54 of Wada's 348 anchors Benzol Green and Light Glaucous 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 — Benzol Green on Light Glaucous Blue — 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.
