About this combination

Combination 188 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Rainette Green, Salvia Blue, Cobalt Green, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 188 of Wada's 348 anchors Rainette Green, Salvia Blue and Cobalt Green in the green family — a 3-colour grouping with a refined, cool 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 — Rainette Green on Cobalt Green — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.61:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
