About this combination

Combination 202 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Turquoise Green, Cobalt Green, Slate Color, as documented in the original plates.

Historical context

Plate 202 of Wada's 348 anchors Turquoise Green, Cobalt Green and Slate Color 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 — Turquoise Green on Slate Color — reaches a contrast ratio of 6.80:1, meeting the WCAG AA bar for body text, so it holds up for text-on-colour layouts as well as decorative use.
