About this combination

Combination 111 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Pale Lemon Yellow, Yellow Green, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 111 of Wada's 348 anchors Pale Lemon Yellow and Yellow Green in the yellow family — a 2-colour grouping with a serene, cool, 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 — Pale Lemon Yellow on Yellow Green — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.46:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
