How Dill behaves under real light

Under warm 2700K interior light Dill shifts subtly: drifts toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Test Dill in the color lighting simulator — sweep it through daylight, warm 2700K light, 4000K LED, and shade alongside the rest of your palette.

Contrast & accessibility

Against white it measures 4.72:1 and against black 4.45:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.

Colors that go with Dill

Tonal

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.

#c5ccb1 · #9ea687 · #6f7755 · #555c3d · #353b1f · #171c04

Analogous

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.

#7ca184 · #738d65 · #6f7755 · #696332 · #604e24 · #543b1b

Shifted

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.

#7dbfa8 · #7a988d · #6f7755 · #525b31 · #384019 · #092920

Contrast

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.

#d6dbc8 · #b2b99c · #919586 · #6f7755 · #594a77 · #343923

Quiet Support

The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.

#f2f0f8 · #8c8e84 · #6f7755 · #59585d · #23261c · #010102

Bright Accent

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.

#f0f4e6 · #c7cbbb · #6f7755 · #20250d · #030400 · #bad24f

Complementary

The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.

#b4e4e3 · #98d593 · #a987a5 · #6f7755 · #54376e · #080e2b

Split-complementary

The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.

#f3efff · #7e8cb2 · #6f7755 · #70496e · #182243 · #030003

Triadic

Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.

#e5f4ff · #6b93ae · #6f7755 · #7b4658 · #3c1524 · #00050f

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Using Dill

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.
