Against white it measures 6.96:1 and against black 3.02:1, so white 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.
#d6af9e · #b28774 · #8f614c · #7d4e38 · #451f0c · #200500
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.
#917a56 · #896443 · #7d4e38 · #6c3c34 · #582c31 · #421e2c
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.
#bcb698 · #a29760 · #7e795f · #7d4e38 · #5c3522 · #3e1c0b
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.
#82c2dc · #877770 · #7d4e38 · #50372b · #311c12 · #120603
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ebf3f7 · #baafaa · #707679 · #7d4e38 · #4c403b · #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.
#eaf4f8 · #c2cdd2 · #95a2a7 · #1d2d33 · #000b11 · #7d4e38
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ced7b3 · #cea682 · #5a92d6 · #7d4e38 · #31426b · #0c072a
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e3f5fe · #84bebe · #5777a1 · #7d4e38 · #044d4e · #000007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e5f7ee · #8ebea8 · #716fa0 · #7d4e38 · #403e63 · #000301
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#765140 · #705448 · #68574F
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.
