About this combination

Combination 115 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A two-colour pairing of Naples Yellow, Peach Red, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 115 of Wada's 348 anchors Naples Yellow and Peach Red in the yellow 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 — Naples Yellow on Peach Red — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.71:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
