Against white it measures 9.67:1 and against black 2.17:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black text on this color entirely.
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.
#869abf · #5f759d · #2d4470 · #1b3058 · #031133 · #000011
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.
#3e6d83 · #32597b · #2d4470 · #2d305b · #291e44 · #210e2d
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.
#c5b3cf · #869cc4 · #8f6f9f · #695a71 · #2d4470 · #182a4d
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.
#dec088 · #76849c · #5c6472 · #2d4470 · #1d293f · #090f1c
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f6f1e9 · #9fa5af · #605d58 · #2d4470 · #292e38 · #020100
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.
#f6f1e8 · #d1cbc0 · #a7a095 · #352d1e · #130b01 · #2d4470
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#faf1e0 · #b9a176 · #745921 · #2d4470 · #3d2a00 · #000008
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#faf1e0 · #c69a80 · #5e6228 · #2d4470 · #482207 · #010100
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffedec · #ca9592 · #42693e · #2d4470 · #173615 · #050000
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.
