Against white it measures 9.18:1 and against black 2.29:1, 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.
#e8a491 · #c67a66 · #a3523b · #822a10 · #500e00 · #220100
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.
#926124 · #8c4711 · #822a10 · #6c1820 · #540826 · #3c0026
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.
#b5a170 · #a47f00 · #76663b · #822a10 · #5c1400 · #350500
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.
#48d7f7 · #ad7d70 · #7f635b · #822a10 · #4c2014 · #250c06
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e5f5f9 · #b8a39e · #5c676a · #822a10 · #422f29 · #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 · #90a2a7 · #132c32 · #000a0e · #822a10
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dcf7ff · #51b8d1 · #007185 · #822a10 · #003b47 · #220100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d6debd · #8bc2e1 · #5e8379 · #50624f · #822a10 · #170d03
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#defae7 · #70bc8e · #535bab · #822a10 · #272b69 · #000501
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#783422 · #6D3C2F · #62433A
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.
