Against white it measures 5.38:1 and against black 3.9:1, so white 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.
#bfc0bb · #989994 · #6a6b65 · #50514c · #30312c · #13130f
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.
#779879 · #6e845a · #6a6b65 · #635a29 · #5a451c · #4e3315
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.
#77b69c · #738f83 · #6a6b65 · #4e5227 · #34370f · #042217
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.
#cfd2be · #abb092 · #8a8c7d · #6a6b65 · #4e4370 · #2f311b
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f2f1f8 · #84867c · #6a6b65 · #515055 · #212218 · #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.
#f2f2ef · #c9c9c6 · #6a6b65 · #22231f · #030402 · #c2cf4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#f2efff · #867ea6 · #6a6b65 · #544876 · #231a3c · #010100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f2efff · #7385aa · #6a6b65 · #664268 · #111f3f · #030004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e4f5ff · #608ba4 · #6a6b65 · #713f54 · #371223 · #00050d
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#585954 · #474743 · #353633 · #232422 · #121211
Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors.
