Under warm 2700K interior light Handmade shifts subtly: drifts toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 4.65:1 and against black 4.52:1, 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.
#d3c9b9 · #ada290 · #7f735f · #645947 · #413828 · #21190c
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.
#999d73 · #928757 · #7f735f · #7f5b37 · #704833 · #5e372e
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.
#9fbc8b · #8a9880 · #7f735f · #6b542d · #4e3a14 · #1c2813
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.
#e4dac8 · #c6b59a · #9d9486 · #7f735f · #3d567f · #423621
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eef2f9 · #948f85 · #7f735f · #585b60 · #2a251b · #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.
#f6f1e9 · #d0cac0 · #7f735f · #31291b · #0f0800 · #f2b94d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ebf2ff · #7b90b5 · #7f735f · #425b85 · #122544 · #110700
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ebf2ff · #6997ad · #7f735f · #5b5382 · #002a3b · #010007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f7f8 · #629b9e · #7f735f · #6e4d75 · #331a38 · #000203
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#7D7364 · #7B7468 · #78746D
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.
