About this combination

Combination 92 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Coral Red, Benzol Green, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 92 of Wada's 348 anchors Coral Red and Benzol Green 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 — Coral Red on Benzol Green — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.56:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
