Under warm 2700K interior light Nebula shifts subtly: drifts toward magenta; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.8), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 6.32:1 and against black 3.32:1, 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.
#e89cff · #cd61ec · #a104c3 · #7c0097 · #4c005e · #22002c
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.
#8773fc · #964be6 · #a104c3 · #960086 · #830054 · #6d002d
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.
#ff6e8b · #c66475 · #a104c3 · #790093 · #520065 · #3b0011
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.
#61e710 · #9d7ba8 · #a104c3 · #692b7a · #470f56 · #23022d
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e7f8e1 · #917b98 · #a104c3 · #495445 · #2c1633 · #000200
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.
#edf4ea · #c3ccc1 · #96a093 · #1c2818 · #010700 · #a104c3
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d4d9b4 · #30b55a · #8e70b5 · #a104c3 · #4e5e46 · #0d082c
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d7f8dc · #dae08a · #558d71 · #a104c3 · #485849 · #1c040e
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fff0d8 · #ad7800 · #a104c3 · #005c5f · #002728 · #100600
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#9635B1 · #8B4A9E · #7F588B
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.
