Against white it measures 3.93:1 and against black 5.35:1, 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.
#e1d6d0 · #baaea8 · #8b7e77 · #6f645d · #4c423c · #2b231e
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.
#b8a27c · #af8b67 · #8b7e77 · #936154 · #7f4f50 · #69404b
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.
#c8c188 · #a3a186 · #8b7e77 · #825942 · #623f2a · #322f16
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.
#ffe2d3 · #7fbbd8 · #8b7e77 · #6c5e56 · #553d2f · #32231b
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ebf3f8 · #a49a94 · #8b7e77 · #62686b · #322823 · #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.
#f6f0ee · #cfc9c5 · #8b7e77 · #2e2622 · #0c0603 · #f18540
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e3f5fe · #75a4bb · #8b7e77 · #336f8a · #002f42 · #0f0200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e3f5fe · #6ea8ab · #8b7e77 · #4e6792 · #003234 · #000007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e4f7ef · #76a997 · #8b7e77 · #665f8f · #2b2447 · #000402
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#736761 · #5C524C · #463D38 · #302925 · #1D1713
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.
