Against white it measures 3.73:1 and against black 5.63:1, 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.
#dedeb8 · #b6b78c · #878757 · #6c6c3f · #494921 · #292904
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.
#95b28f · #8d9d70 · #878757 · #807141 · #765c36 · #68482e
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.
#97d1b1 · #8eaa9a · #878757 · #6a693d · #4e4d25 · #1d3729
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.
#ededda · #cacaac · #a6a696 · #878757 · #625d8c · #47472f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f1f1f9 · #9fa095 · #878757 · #69696e · #2c2c22 · #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.
#f3f3e0 · #cbccb6 · #878757 · #2b2a06 · #090800 · #cdcb4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#c3e0c3 · #89af7a · #878757 · #523f9e · #26345b · #1a051c
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f1f0ff · #88a0c5 · #878757 · #7c5b85 · #162b4b · #030004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3f5fe · #77a7bd · #878757 · #8a5771 · #421d31 · #000409
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#868661 · #85866B · #858574
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.
