Under warm 2700K interior light Bermuda shifts subtly: leans toward blue-green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 4.81:1 and against black 4.36:1, 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.
#93d1de · #63abb9 · #1b7d8d · #00616f · #003c46 · #001b21
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.
#62a194 · #409090 · #1b7d8d · #1f6782 · #255274 · #283e62
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.
#8face4 · #808ea9 · #1b7d8d · #095e6b · #00414b · #141f37
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.
#bfdbe1 · #8fbbc4 · #7f959a · #1b7d8d · #7a3d32 · #143a41
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#faefed · #7f8d90 · #1b7d8d · #5c5453 · #172629 · #030101
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.
#fbefec · #d5c6c3 · #aa9996 · #33211d · #100201 · #1b7d8d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedea · #b17b70 · #1b7d8d · #804237 · #40110a · #000305
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedea · #af7987 · #1b7d8d · #794a1c · #3e1021 · #170600
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fdecfa · #a47b9e · #1b7d8d · #68540c · #2d2200 · #040003
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
