Historical context

Plate 326 of Wada's 348 anchors Sulpher Yellow, Peach Red, Yellow Green and Night Green in the yellow family — a 4-colour grouping with a refined, 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 — Sulpher Yellow on Peach Red — reaches a contrast ratio of 2.83:1, below the WCAG text-contrast floor, so it reads best in decorative blocks rather than text pairings.
