Under warm 2700K interior light Blueberry shifts subtly: drifts toward purple; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 8.55:1 and against black 2.46:1, 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.
#9699df · #7172bf · #464196 · #302876 · #16044c · #030017
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.
#3c75ac · #3f5ca4 · #464196 · #492b77 · #441758 · #3a0439
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.
#c496bb · #b867aa · #835d7c · #464196 · #2e286d · #180d4c
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.
#d6c755 · #878ab7 · #6a6c86 · #464196 · #2d2c57 · #15152d
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f4f3e4 · #a7a9bc · #6a695f · #464196 · #353648 · #010100
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.
#f4f2e7 · #cccabc · #a09e8e · #282612 · #070500 · #464196
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#f7f3d4 · #b8ad58 · #766a00 · #464196 · #3f3800 · #010010
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f7f3d4 · #d59f5a · #4a7712 · #464196 · #4f3000 · #010700
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffeee7 · #e49374 · #007c53 · #464196 · #00432b · #230400
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
