About this combination
Combination 96 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Yellow Ocher, Olive, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 96 of Wada's 348 anchors Yellow Ocher and Olive in the yellow family — a 2-colour grouping with a refined, 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 — Yellow Ocher on Olive — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.19:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
