Against white it measures 8.49:1 and against black 2.47:1, 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.
#c69388 · #a36b60 · #773c30 · #59241a · #340601 · #0e0000
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.
#8c6947 · #835238 · #773c30 · #622c30 · #4c1e2e · #361229
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.
#b5a586 · #a18549 · #776a4f · #773c30 · #54251c · #360d06
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.
#7fd3e5 · #a7867e · #7c6965 · #773c30 · #472923 · #24130f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e9f4f7 · #b5a7a4 · #636a6c · #773c30 · #423431 · #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.
#e8f4f7 · #bdcccf · #8fa0a4 · #11272c · #000508 · #773c30
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dff7fc · #76b6c4 · #157585 · #773c30 · #003f4a · #060000
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#c0e5d0 · #80cec8 · #688193 · #5f5f7e · #773c30 · #210711
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e6f7ea · #8ab896 · #58659a · #773c30 · #2b345d · #000701
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#704137 · #68463E · #5F4945
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.
