About this combination

Combination 87 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Corinthian Pink, Citron Yellow, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 87 of Wada's 348 anchors Corinthian Pink and Citron Yellow 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 — Corinthian Pink on Citron Yellow — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.27:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
