Jasper Red & Seashell Pink +1

About this combination

Combination 194 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Jasper Red, Seashell Pink, Olympic Blue, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 194 of Wada's 348 anchors Jasper Red, Seashell Pink and Olympic Blue 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 — Seashell Pink on Olympic Blue — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.90:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
