About this combination
Combination 64 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Aconite Violet, Dark Soft Violet, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 64 of Wada's 348 anchors Aconite Violet and Dark Soft Violet in the pink 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 — Aconite Violet on Dark Soft Violet — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.36:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
