Under warm 2700K interior light Naval shifts subtly: loses intensity; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 5.08:1 and against black 4.13:1, 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.
#a2c8ed · #76a1ca · #41729f · #2a5780 · #093559 · #00162e
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.
#5d9cac · #4a88a7 · #41729f · #455c8b · #444775 · #40345d
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.
#b29eda · #8f86a3 · #41729f · #2d5579 · #143a5a · #221932
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.
#dfae7a · #82909e · #41729f · #395269 · #1f3448 · #0c1925
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8f0e9 · #808a93 · #41729f · #58544f · #1a242c · #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.
#f9f0e8 · #d3cac0 · #aa9f94 · #382b1e · #160a00 · #41729f
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d1d7b2 · #8dbecd · #e57853 · #41729f · #754a55 · #0b0932
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#feefdf · #ae7a69 · #41729f · #625408 · #3f1104 · #070400
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffecef · #ae7680 · #41729f · #465e23 · #192800 · #080001
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#4C7295 · #56718B · #5F7080
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.
