Under warm 2700K interior light Nirvana shifts subtly: takes on a pink cast; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.97:1 and against black 7.06:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.
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.
#f9ebf4 · #d2c2cb · #a2919b · #85767f · #61535b · #3e333a
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.
#dfadb1 · #cd98a9 · #a2919b · #9b769b · #7e698f · #635c80
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.
#ccaea6 · #a2919b · #936a84 · #814c40 · #57344a · #39201a
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.
#98d4b5 · #a2919b · #80717a · #674e5d · #47313f · #271922
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ecf4ef · #a2919b · #82787e · #474c49 · #241b20 · #000101
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.
#f6eff3 · #cec6cb · #a2919b · #2a2026 · #080205 · #e15cb7
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#f6eff3 · #cec6cb · #a2919b · #2a2026 · #080205 · #dfc34d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e5f7ed · #a2919b · #5b8771 · #1b573d · #002616 · #040002
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e5f7ed · #a2919b · #6f835e · #005654 · #122401 · #000202
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f5f3e2 · #a2919b · #837d53 · #015367 · #00232d · #030200
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#86767F · #6A5D65 · #50444B · #372D33 · #20181D
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.
