Against white it measures 5.33:1 and against black 3.94:1, so white 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.
#f7b291 · #d38864 · #a75429 · #873b0f · #582000 · #2b0a00
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.
#b28a4a · #ae7033 · #a75429 · #934035 · #7c303b · #63233d
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.
#bfab46 · #968d61 · #a75429 · #803d19 · #5e2300 · #261f00
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.
#4dc6f2 · #a3897d · #a75429 · #6e432f · #4c2816 · #281106
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e6f5fb · #96857d · #a75429 · #4e575b · #2f1e17 · #000204
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.
#e7f4fa · #becdd4 · #92a3aa · #172d36 · #000b13 · #a75429
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e1f6ff · #3a95b6 · #a75429 · #005e79 · #002735 · #230600
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#cbddc0 · #93b9df · #7ca4a1 · #a75429 · #4f5f54 · #140d03
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#dcfaec · #459c7b · #a75429 · #514895 · #211551 · #000301
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#9C5B3C · #91614B · #856759
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.
