About this combination
Combination 101 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Cameo Pink, Deep Lyons Blue, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 101 of Wada's 348 anchors Cameo Pink and Deep Lyons Blue 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 — Cameo Pink on Deep Lyons Blue — reaches a contrast ratio of 5.20:1, meeting the WCAG AA bar for body text, so it holds up for text-on-colour layouts as well as decorative use.
