Eosine Pink & Orange Yellow +1

About this combination

Combination 153 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Eosine Pink, Orange Yellow, Citron Yellow, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 153 of Wada's 348 anchors Eosine Pink, Orange Yellow and Citron Yellow 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 Orange Yellow — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.40:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
