Historical context

Plate 150 of Wada's 348 anchors Seashell Pink, Citron Yellow and Glaucous Green in the orange family — a 3-colour grouping with a serene, 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 — Seashell Pink on Citron Yellow — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.57:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
