Against white it measures 3.01:1 and against black 6.98:1, 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.

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.

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.
#9ebbac · #95986b · #777a4d · #2b674e · #404219 · #102c20
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.
#dadcbe · #b6b8a7 · #95986b · #696191 · #373922 · #1c1d0e
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f2f1f9 · #95986b · #797a70 · #49484d · #1e1e14 · #010102
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.
#f2f4e2 · #caccb7 · #95986b · #262707 · #060600 · #c8cd4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#b0dfd9 · #96be93 · #95986b · #894e8f · #323e68 · #20060d
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f1f0ff · #95986b · #657a9d · #5b3a61 · #0b1c3b · #030004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3f5fe · #95986b · #538096 · #67374d · #320e21 · #00050c
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#959774 · #94967D · #949586
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.
