Combination 226 of 348 in Wada's six-volume 1933 work. A 3-colour grouping of Vistoris Lake, Cream Yellow, Violet, as documented in the original plates.
Historical context
Plate 226 of Wada's 348 anchors Vistoris Lake, Cream Yellow and Violet 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 — Cream Yellow on Violet — reaches a
contrast ratio of 5.32:1, meeting the WCAG AA bar for body text, so it holds up for text-on-colour layouts as well as decorative use.
