Under warm 2700K interior light Mango shifts subtly: leans toward red; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.3), so it is a lighting-stable choice.
#ffa01e — ΔE 1.3, shifts subtly: leans toward red#ffa625 — ΔE 0.3, is virtually unchanged#ffa62b — ΔE 0.0, is virtually unchanged#ffa72d — ΔE 0.2, is virtually unchangedTest Mango in the color lighting simulator — sweep it through daylight, warm 2700K light, 4000K LED, and shade alongside the rest of your palette.
Against white it measures 1.96:1 and against black 10.74:1, 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.
#ffefde · #ffa62b · #e08d06 · #ad6c00 · #7e4c00 · #512f00
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.
#f2e27a · #f9c54f · #ffa62b · #f28b45 · #de7557 · #c56264
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.
#ffa62b · #96a56b · #b16e00 · #596b00 · #643c00 · #283200
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.
#f6dbbe · #ffa62b · #2f9af3 · #7a4f18 · #563300 · #321a00
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e8f3ff · #ffa62b · #ae9d8b · #59626a · #342412 · #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 · #c1ccd6 · #94a0ac · #1b2938 · #000815 · #ffa62b
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#daddb8 · #ffa62b · #cb9679 · #1d739b · #2d3b5d · #051112
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e9cdea · #ffa62b · #82b0c4 · #7778ca · #41364e · #230603
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#cefdf8 · #ffa62b · #00b8af · #7b3fa5 · #3b0259 · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#F2AC5A · #E4B17A · #D6B694
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.
