Under warm 2700K interior light Burgundy shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 0.5), so it is a lighting-stable choice.
#90001c — ΔE 0.4, shifts subtly: leans toward orange#92001f — ΔE 0.5, is virtually unchanged#900020 — ΔE 0.0, is virtually unchanged#900121 — ΔE 0.1, is virtually unchangedAgainst white it measures 9.52:1 and against black 2.21:1, 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.
#ed8d8c · #cb6163 · #a8323b · #900020 · #47000a · #180001
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.
#a5530f · #9d3310 · #900020 · #710031 · #540036 · #380033
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.
#c69960 · #b37500 · #845f2c · #900020 · #620012 · #380006
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.
#00dee9 · #b77674 · #845f5d · #900020 · #53161a · #290709
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e1f7f8 · #bca09f · #586768 · #900020 · #462b2b · #000202
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.
#e6f5f6 · #bccdce · #8da1a2 · #0c282a · #000607 · #900020
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dbd6b1 · #d2b48e · #2485a6 · #4b5e81 · #900020 · #041122
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#c0dec1 · #81d2af · #518291 · #4d5e80 · #900020 · #1d0512
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e0fbdb · #78bd6b · #265ec1 · #900020 · #002b7a · #000200
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.
