Against white it measures 4.14:1 and against black 5.07:1, so black 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.
#d4d4cf · #acaca7 · #7d7d77 · #62625d · #41413c · #21211d
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.
#8faa87 · #879668 · #7d7d77 · #7a6a3a · #6f552f · #614228
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.
#91c9a8 · #88a292 · #7d7d77 · #646236 · #48471e · #173123
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.
#e5e5d2 · #c3c2a4 · #9f9f8f · #7d7d77 · #5a5685 · #414129
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f1f1f9 · #98988e · #7d7d77 · #626267 · #29291f · #010102
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.
#f2f2ef · #c9c9c6 · #7d7d77 · #23231f · #040402 · #d0ca4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#f0f0ff · #9493bb · #7d7d77 · #5f5c8b · #272346 · #010100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f0f0ff · #8099bd · #7d7d77 · #74557f · #122947 · #030004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e3f5fe · #6fa0b4 · #7d7d77 · #82516b · #3e1a2f · #00050b
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#686863 · #53534f · #3f3f3c · #2a2a28 · #151514
Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors.
