Under warm 2700K interior light Koromiko shifts subtly: leans toward red; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.4), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.76:1 and against black 11.95:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white 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.
#ffefdc · #feb552 · #d59335 · #a96e0d · #7b4e00 · #4f3000
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.
#f8d581 · #feb552 · #f39a59 · #e18362 · #cb6f6a · #b25e6f
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.
#feb552 · #9dae7d · #b47a25 · #5b7600 · #6d4400 · #2c3a02
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.
#fce5cb · #feb552 · #4693e2 · #7d5a2c · #5b3c12 · #362308
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#feb552 · #a0aab5 · #817464 · #41484f · #261a09 · #000104
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.
#eaf3fc · #c1cbd6 · #949fab · #1a2736 · #000613 · #feb552
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dde4bf · #feb552 · #b3b38a · #217b94 · #303d5c · #04110f
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f7d8f4 · #feb552 · #92b8cb · #7b6bc7 · #473952 · #1e0602
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#feb552 · #8bb2b0 · #008884 · #5f297d · #2e0043 · #000202
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. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
