Against white it measures 5.69:1 and against black 3.69:1, 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.
#d2b7a1 · #ae8f77 · #816045 · #65472e · #412711 · #1f0a00
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.
#978a62 · #90744b · #816045 · #774a36 · #653933 · #51292f
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.
#c3c6a8 · #a4a972 · #85886e · #816045 · #654326 · #482a0e
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.
#e0c7b5 · #78aace · #816045 · #53473d · #3c2817 · #1c1007
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ecf3f8 · #898079 · #816045 · #4b4f53 · #271e17 · #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.
#fdefe3 · #dac9bc · #816045 · #452e1c · #220d00 · #f29845
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d5dbb6 · #c6be92 · #44a6bb · #816045 · #3e4a6c · #061412
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e6f4ff · #558c96 · #816045 · #3f4c78 · #00252b · #000007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3f7f2 · #588e83 · #816045 · #554572 · #251739 · #000201
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#7C624D · #776455 · #71655C
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.
