Against white it measures 3.86:1 and against black 5.44:1, 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.
#e9d6c5 · #c2ae9a · #947e68 · #78644f · #534230 · #312313
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.
#b0a87e · #a99165 · #947e68 · #92654b · #805247 · #6c4242
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.
#bbc891 · #9ea48a · #947e68 · #7e5e3d · #604324 · #2d331a
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.
#f7e7d8 · #d9c2ab · #aea195 · #947e68 · #3d668b · #52412f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ecf3f9 · #a49c94 · #947e68 · #65696d · #312922 · #010204
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.
#f9f0e7 · #d5cbc0 · #947e68 · #3e3021 · #1c0f02 · #f3a448
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e7f3ff · #80a2c1 · #947e68 · #436c91 · #0b2d49 · #120500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e7f3ff · #72a7b6 · #947e68 · #5d6493 · #00313c · #010008
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f7f4 · #72aaa4 · #947e68 · #735d8a · #332244 · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#907F6E · #8D8073 · #898179
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.
