Under warm 2700K interior light Love Surge shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 0.8), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 5.36:1 and against black 3.92:1, 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.
#ffafb8 · #fb6a83 · #ce1d51 · #a6003c · #6c0024 · #37000e
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.
#e57037 · #dd4b3f · #ce1d51 · #ad1364 · #89116e · #670f6f
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.
#f79300 · #bc8248 · #ce1d51 · #a00a3b · #730027 · #361b00
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.
#00e0dc · #b68489 · #ce1d51 · #863342 · #601828 · #350812
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ddf8f7 · #a58386 · #ce1d51 · #4b5d5c · #39191e · #000202
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.
#e7f5f4 · #bccdcc · #8da19f · #0b2726 · #000505 · #ce1d51
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#c5fffc · #00a29e · #ce1d51 · #006764 · #002b2a · #150002
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d3d9b4 · #6cb292 · #5b93a5 · #ce1d51 · #546653 · #1f0903
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3fbd0 · #65a121 · #ce1d51 · #0059a4 · #00244a · #010700
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#BE3E58 · #AC5260 · #996067
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.
