Against white it measures 3.6:1 and against black 5.83:1, 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.
#dfdfdd · #b7b7b5 · #878785 · #6c6c6a · #4a4a48 · #2a2a28
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.

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.
#92ad9d · #878785 · #6e6c40 · #235a3e · #37350b · #072114
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.
#f2f2d5 · #ceceaf · #aaaa9a · #878785 · #625f8e · #2d2d1e
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f1f1f9 · #a3a399 · #878785 · #6c6c71 · #2e2e23 · #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.
#f2f2f1 · #cccccb · #878785 · #2f2f2e · #0e0e0d · #d0ca4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#f0f0ff · #9f9dc7 · #878785 · #696696 · #2b274b · #010100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f0f0ff · #8aa4c8 · #878785 · #7e5f8a · #162d4c · #020004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3f5fe · #7aabbf · #878785 · #8c5b75 · #431e33 · #00050b
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors.
