About this combination
Combination 100 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Buffy Citrine, Dull Blue Violet, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 100 of Wada's 348 anchors Buffy Citrine and Dull Blue Violet 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 — Buffy Citrine on Dull Blue Violet — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.23:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
