About this combination
Combination 113 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Seashell Pink, Vandyke Brown, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 113 of Wada's 348 anchors Seashell Pink and Vandyke Brown in the orange 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 — Seashell Pink on Vandyke Brown — reaches a contrast ratio of 8.59:1, clearing the WCAG AAA bar for body text, so it holds up for text-on-colour layouts as well as decorative use.
