Under warm 2700K interior light Adobe is virtually unchanged; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.
#bf6841 — ΔE 1.0, is virtually unchanged#c16c46 — ΔE 0.7, is virtually unchanged#bd6c48 — ΔE 0.0, is virtually unchanged#bd6d49 — ΔE 0.2, is virtually unchangedAgainst white it measures 3.89:1 and against black 5.4:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.
One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.
#ffd1bd · #eaa080 · #bd6c48 · #9c5331 · #723211 · #471600
The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.
#caa267 · #c58753 · #bd6c48 · #a8584f · #904853 · #773a53
The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.
#d8c267 · #ada37a · #bd6c48 · #955336 · #74391d · #3b3102
One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.
#ffe7dd · #59c9f0 · #bd6c48 · #765f55 · #623b29 · #3b2319
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e7f4fa · #ad9c94 · #bd6c48 · #636c70 · #382821 · #000203
This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.
#e7f4fa · #becdd3 · #90a2a9 · #152c34 · #000910 · #bd6c48
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d7d6b0 · #c08891 · #bd6c48 · #716793 · #275793 · #0f082c
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e0f6ff · #4fb2b1 · #bd6c48 · #376cab · #003433 · #00051a
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#defaec · #65b291 · #bd6c48 · #635faa · #28215a · #000502
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#B27257 · #A77864 · #9B7D70
Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
