Against white it measures 4.37:1 and against black 4.8:1, 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.
#ffc2d5 · #ee8aad · #c1537d · #9f3a63 · #731841 · #460022
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.
#e18677 · #d46c77 · #c1537d · #a04882 · #7f3f81 · #5f3679
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.
#ffa26a · #c29073 · #c1537d · #973e60 · #752445 · #4a1e00
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.
#1ae3c5 · #b8959f · #c1537d · #834a5e · #5f2f40 · #391925
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e4f7f2 · #aa9299 · #c1537d · #5b6864 · #382229 · #000201
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.
#e7f5f2 · #bdcec9 · #8fa29d · #112a25 · #000805 · #c1537d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d0dbb7 · #5cc1ca · #c1537d · #7c6282 · #2f3f33 · #190518
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d3fcf2 · #62ae70 · #c1537d · #00727f · #00340f · #000304
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#eef7d6 · #92a349 · #c1537d · #006c9d · #002d45 · #010100
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
