Eosine Pink & Light Mauve +1

About this combination

Combination 134 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Eosine Pink, Light Mauve, Red Violet, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 134 of Wada's 348 anchors Eosine Pink, Light Mauve and Red Violet in the red family — a 3-colour grouping with a refined, warm 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 — Eosine Pink on Red Violet — reaches a contrast ratio of 4.36:1, usable for large text but not body copy, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
