Under warm 2700K interior light Mykonos shifts subtly: leans toward purple, loses intensity; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 4.47:1 and against black 4.7:1, 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.
#a9d2ff · #72aae8 · #387abe · #1f5f9d · #003c70 · #001d3d
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.
#49a9c4 · #3793c3 · #387abe · #4962a8 · #4e4b8e · #4d3771
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.
#c5a0f5 · #9d8cb5 · #387abe · #275d94 · #0b4172 · #2d1c41
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.
#eeae5b · #889aaf · #387abe · #3a5a7d · #203c5a · #0e2033
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#faf0e5 · #8793a1 · #387abe · #625c55 · #1b2735 · #020100
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.
#f9f0e7 · #d4cbc0 · #aca195 · #3c2f20 · #1b0e01 · #387abe
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffefdc · #b88748 · #387abe · #815200 · #382000 · #000619
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffefdc · #c67d61 · #387abe · #6a5e00 · #461300 · #060400
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffedee · #c77782 · #387abe · #426b0e · #182d00 · #190003
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#497AAF · #577AA1 · #647992
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.
