Under warm 2700K interior light Lizard shifts subtly: drifts toward orange; 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 5.32:1 and against black 3.94:1, so white 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.
#cebfa1 · #a89876 · #7b6943 · #604f2c · #3d2f0e · #1c1100
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.
#8c946b · #857e4f · #7b6943 · #74532d · #654027 · #542f24
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.
#91b384 · #7e8e78 · #7b6943 · #5f4d23 · #433209 · #13210d
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.
#d8d0be · #b9ac90 · #928b7d · #7b6943 · #394b76 · #392f19
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eef2f9 · #8a857c · #7b6943 · #505257 · #252118 · #010103
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.
#f9f1e2 · #d4cbb9 · #7b6943 · #392d12 · #160c00 · #edbd4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ccdbb8 · #a6c995 · #9f7cad · #7b6943 · #402d7f · #1c0621
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ecf2ff · #628ca5 · #7b6943 · #554977 · #002538 · #010006
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f7f9 · #589097 · #7b6943 · #674369 · #301532 · #000304
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#786A4C · #746A55 · #716B5E
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.
