Against white it measures 8.63:1 and against black 2.43:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black text on this color entirely.
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.
#d78b78 · #b4624e · #882d17 · #681300 · #360300 · #0e0000
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.
#996528 · #924a17 · #882d17 · #721b26 · #590d2b · #40032b
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.
#bba574 · #ab8200 · #7c693f · #882d17 · #611705 · #3c0500
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.
#43d9f8 · #b38175 · #846760 · #882d17 · #512419 · #2a1009
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e5f5f9 · #baa5a0 · #606b6e · #882d17 · #47322d · #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.
#e7f5f8 · #bdced2 · #90a2a7 · #132c32 · #000a0e · #882d17
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dbf8ff · #50bbd3 · #00768a · #882d17 · #00404b · #080000
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#bfe6d0 · #7fcdbd · #628093 · #5f607f · #882d17 · #220612
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#dffae7 · #73be8e · #5460b2 · #882d17 · #292f6f · #000601
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#7E3827 · #734033 · #67473E
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.
