Against white it measures 6.8:1 and against black 3.09:1, 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.
#c3ad93 · #9f866a · #715636 · #583f21 · #352004 · #130600
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.
#858057 · #7e6a3e · #715636 · #684024 · #582f22 · #451f1e
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.
#b0ba9d · #8e9e6a · #747c64 · #715636 · #563a16 · #392100
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.
#cfbba5 · #6e95be · #715636 · #463c31 · #2f1f0a · #110801
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#edf2f9 · #b8b0a8 · #72767a · #715636 · #4a4239 · #010204
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.
#fcf0e2 · #d8caba · #715636 · #3f2d16 · #1b0c00 · #f4aa4a
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e8f3ff · #95b5d7 · #5379a0 · #715636 · #274564 · #100500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e8f3ff · #87bbcc · #6d70a1 · #715636 · #0f4b5b · #010007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f7f5 · #85beba · #836996 · #715636 · #4e395d · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
