Under warm 2700K interior light Eagle shifts subtly: leans toward red; 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 4.44:1 and against black 4.73:1, so black 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.
#f3c79e · #cf9e70 · #a26c36 · #83521e · #5b3200 · #311700
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.
#ac9e66 · #a8854b · #a26c36 · #925738 · #7f4439 · #6a3439
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.
#b4bf74 · #969c79 · #a26c36 · #7e5226 · #5e370b · #272b08
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.
#f9dabf · #66a5d7 · #a26c36 · #665749 · #50361d · #2d1d0f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eaf3fb · #9d9288 · #a26c36 · #5b6165 · #30251b · #000103
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.
#e9f3fc · #c1cdd7 · #96a3ae · #1f2f3c · #000d1a · #a26c36
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d6d7b1 · #40b9d5 · #a26c36 · #895650 · #2b365c · #04100f
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e7f4ff · #56a1b2 · #a26c36 · #4e5b97 · #002d36 · #01000b
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ddf9f4 · #57a499 · #a26c36 · #6c518d · #301a48 · #000201
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#9A7048 · #927357 · #897564
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.
