Under warm 2700K interior light Antique shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.4), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 3.74:1 and against black 5.62:1, 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.
#e1dcc9 · #bab49f · #8b846d · #706954 · #4c4734 · #2c2717
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.
#a0b087 · #999a6a · #8b846d · #896d42 · #7c593b · #6c4635
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.
#a4cfa4 · #94a994 · #8b846d · #73663b · #564a22 · #243724
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.
#f5ecd1 · #d1c8ab · #aaa696 · #8b846d · #4d5886 · #2e291b
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eff1f9 · #a29f95 · #8b846d · #686a6f · #2f2c22 · #010102
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.
#f5f2e8 · #cecbc0 · #8b846d · #2f2b1c · #0e0900 · #e3c24d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#edf1ff · #939dc5 · #8b846d · #5b6795 · #21294b · #0a0500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#edf1ff · #7fa4c2 · #8b846d · #735f8e · #072f49 · #020006
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f6fb · #73aab6 · #8b846d · #84597c · #3e1f39 · #000305
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#898472 · #888477 · #86847C
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.
