Under warm 2700K interior light Dark Space is virtually unchanged; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 9.1:1 and against black 2.31:1, 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.
#949b9d · #6e7678 · #414a4c · #2b3335 · #0e1516 · #000101
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.
#40756b · #1f6465 · #414a4c · #004258 · #0c314d · #12223f
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.
#929fb9 · #6a80ae · #59647a · #414a4c · #00353e · #001b20
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.
#b77e71 · #586a6e · #414a4c · #0e3138 · #00161b · #000406
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efed · #9ca9ac · #655f5e · #414a4c · #263336 · #020101
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.
#eef3f3 · #c5cacb · #414a4c · #1f2627 · #020506 · #e8583e
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#eef3f3 · #c5cacb · #414a4c · #1f2627 · #020506 · #edbd4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffede9 · #c9998f · #865045 · #414a4c · #4c231b · #000204
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffede9 · #c897a3 · #7f5731 · #414a4c · #4b222e · #110400
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fcedf8 · #be99b7 · #70602a · #414a4c · #3c2f00 · #030003
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#363E40 · #2B3234 · #202728 · #161C1D · #0D1113
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.
