Under warm 2700K interior light Mediterranea shifts subtly: drifts toward blue-green; in north-facing or shaded light it shifts subtly: leans toward blue. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.3), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 6.63:1 and against black 3.17:1, 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.
#95b5bb · #6b9096 · #39636a · #22494f · #02282e · #000a0e
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.
#568a7d · #377977 · #39636a · #145267 · #173f59 · #182c49
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.
#a6b6d0 · #7c96c5 · #6c798f · #39636a · #014952 · #002d34
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.
#a3c5cb · #b2776e · #39636a · #304144 · #02272d · #000c0f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efee · #a7b4b6 · #7a7372 · #39636a · #384648 · #020101
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.
#e5f5f8 · #baced1 · #39636a · #092a2f · #00070a · #e25041
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e5f5f8 · #baced1 · #39636a · #092a2f · #00070a · #edbc4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d1d8b3 · #ce9655 · #6c7fa7 · #39636a · #4f3034 · #04110d
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedea · #d2a2b0 · #966a47 · #39636a · #5e3442 · #120400
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fbedf9 · #c8a4c4 · #87733f · #39636a · #504115 · #030003
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.
