Historical context

Plate 317 of Wada's 348 anchors Light Pinkish Cinnamon, Ecru, Lemon Yellow and Turquoise Green in the orange family — a 4-colour grouping with a serene, warm, bold 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 — Ecru on Lemon Yellow — reaches a contrast ratio of 1.76:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
