Under warm 2700K interior light Chrome shifts subtly: takes on a red cast, gains intensity; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.
#ead9d2 — ΔE 2.2, shifts subtly: takes on a red cast, gains intensity#e9e0dc — ΔE 1.3, shifts only faintly, with no single dominant change#e1dfe1 — ΔE 0.0, is virtually unchanged#e1e0e4 — ΔE 0.4, is virtually unchangedTest Chrome in the color lighting simulator — sweep it through daylight, warm 2700K light, 4000K LED, and shade alongside the rest of your palette.
Against white it measures 1.33:1 and against black 15.84:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white 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.
#e1dfe1 · #cac8ca · #a3a1a3 · #7d7c7d · #5a595a · #393739
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.
#e1dfe1 · #eebbda · #dea7b9 · #cc969a · #b7867e · #a07765
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.
#e1dfe1 · #d7b6b7 · #b593b6 · #aa6f71 · #775978 · #5e4041
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.
#e1dfe1 · #9eca9f · #a295a2 · #867187 · #655365 · #433744
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e1dfe1 · #bfc5bf · #8d858d · #4f534f · #261e26 · #010201
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.
#e1dfe1 · #a09fa0 · #484748 · #2c2a2c · #0b090b · #cc70d0
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e1dfe1 · #a09fa0 · #484748 · #2c2a2c · #0b090b · #e1c24d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e1dfe1 · #bac7ba · #719272 · #355d38 · #08290c · #030003
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e1dfe1 · #bac7ba · #868d63 · #145f50 · #202400 · #000302
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1dfe1 · #c9c2b3 · #99865e · #005d66 · #00272c · #0e0600
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#bcbabc · #969596 · #717071 · #4b4a4b · #262526
Its high lightness and low chroma make it a natural background or large-surface color.
