Against white it measures 4.32:1 and against black 4.86:1, so black 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.
#ffc4b2 · #df9883 · #b2654e · #924c37 · #682b19 · #410c00
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.
#c39868 · #bc7f57 · #b2654e · #9c5352 · #844353 · #6a3651
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.
#d5b767 · #a89a76 · #b2654e · #8b4d3a · #6a3222 · #362901
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.
#68d2ee · #b19890 · #b2654e · #7a5246 · #58352b · #331d17
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e7f4f8 · #a4948f · #b2654e · #5c6567 · #342420 · #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.
#e7f5f9 · #bdcdd2 · #90a2a8 · #132c33 · #000a0f · #b2654e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ddf7ff · #55a5ba · #b2654e · #006f84 · #002f39 · #180100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#badfc8 · #7eb3db · #b2654e · #4f716c · #2e3853 · #20050c
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f9ea · #6aa884 · #b2654e · #555c9e · #202154 · #000501
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#A86B59 · #9D7163 · #92756D
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.
