Against white it measures 5.61:1 and against black 3.74:1, 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.
#cbb9b0 · #a69288 · #796359 · #5e4a41 · #3b2a22 · #1b0d07
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.

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.
#cac4a6 · #b0a56e · #8b866d · #796359 · #69412e · #4b2817
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.
#81c1db · #95857e · #796359 · #5d4337 · #3d271d · #1d1009
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ebf3f7 · #8b807b · #796359 · #4b5053 · #281e19 · #000102
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.
#f9efeb · #d2c7c2 · #796359 · #31221c · #0e0301 · #f07b3e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e3f5fe · #5a8b9e · #796359 · #12576f · #002532 · #0c0100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e3f5fe · #558e8e · #796359 · #335078 · #002627 · #000007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e5f7ee · #5f8e7a · #796359 · #4c4977 · #1e1a3d · #000301
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#76645C · #726560 · #6F6663
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.
