Under warm 2700K interior light Jelly Slug shifts only faintly, with no single dominant change; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 3.45:1 and against black 6.09:1, 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.
#ffe0d8 · #ffa68d · #de6646 · #bb4c2f · #8d2a0d · #5b1200
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.
#e8a558 · #e58647 · #de6646 · #c55358 · #a94563 · #8b3967
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.
#c3ac73 · #de6646 · #b25036 · #6b5200 · #6c1800 · #2d2000
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.
#00daff · #de6646 · #88655c · #783d2d · #542214 · #2d0d05
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e2f6fb · #bea59e · #de6646 · #6a777b · #412a23 · #000305
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.
#e7f5f9 · #bdcdd1 · #8ea1a6 · #10292f · #00070b · #de6646
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dcf8ff · #21bede · #de6646 · #00839a · #003742 · #240100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#b8dec9 · #6fb4a1 · #de6646 · #41667c · #333f5d · #22060e
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#d9fce5 · #60c389 · #de6646 · #5e68cf · #232172 · #000501
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#CF7258 · #C07B69 · #AF8477
Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
