Under warm 2700K interior light Dark Rift is virtually unchanged; 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.

Against white it measures 19.71:1 and against black 1.07:1, 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.
#969aa1 · #70757d · #4d525b · #2c313b · #060b14 · #000104
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.
#2b6056 · #0c4f4f · #003d46 · #002b3a · #001a2f · #060b14
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.
#9788a2 · #5c7295 · #634873 · #263a5b · #271c2e · #060b14
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.
#debf8d · #747e8d · #515e73 · #324055 · #1d242f · #060b14
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f6f1ea · #b2b8c1 · #83807b · #474d57 · #221e19 · #060b14
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.
#eff2f7 · #c6cad0 · #999da4 · #20252e · #060b14 · #f4b94d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#faf0e1 · #ccb48c · #987b4a · #5f4921 · #141f31 · #060b14
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#faf0e1 · #d8ad96 · #83844e · #69422c · #20200a · #060b14
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffedec · #dba9a8 · #688b60 · #3a5533 · #2f1718 · #060b14
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#060A13 · #060A11 · #060910 · #05090F · #05080D
As a deep tone it works for grounding elements — text, outlines, and shadowed surfaces — rather than open fields. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
