Against white it measures 5.67:1 and against black 3.7:1, 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.
#e9b095 · #c58769 · #995533 · #7a3c1c · #511d00 · #250700
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.
#a88753 · #a16e3f · #995533 · #864238 · #70323a · #582538
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.
#b6a657 · #8f8864 · #995533 · #743d21 · #542307 · #211b00
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.
#68c4e9 · #9a857b · #995533 · #654130 · #432617 · #210f06
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e8f4f9 · #8f807a · #995533 · #4a5255 · #2b1d17 · #000203
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 · #bfcdd4 · #92a3aa · #172d36 · #000b13 · #995533
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dadab5 · #d2ae87 · #589beb · #995533 · #445184 · #10092f
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e1f6ff · #3d9394 · #995533 · #275187 · #002728 · #000213
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e0f9ed · #4f9479 · #995533 · #4d4685 · #1f1747 · #000301
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#905A41 · #865F4D · #7C6358
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.
