Against white it measures 3.97:1 and against black 5.29:1, 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.
#ffcfb7 · #e89f7a · #bb6b41 · #9a512a · #703107 · #431700
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.
#c6a163 · #c2864d · #bb6b41 · #a75749 · #90464d · #77384e
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.
#d3c264 · #aaa278 · #bb6b41 · #935230 · #723817 · #383000
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.
#ffe5d8 · #56c4ef · #bb6b41 · #745d52 · #613a25 · #392217
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e7f4fb · #ab9a92 · #bb6b41 · #616a6f · #37271f · #000103
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.
#e7f4fa · #becdd4 · #91a2a9 · #152b35 · #000911 · #bb6b41
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dadbb5 · #c6818a · #bb6b41 · #1e53a1 · #2d3861 · #10082d
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e1f6ff · #4bb0b2 · #bb6b41 · #3a69ab · #003334 · #000217
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ddfaed · #5fb192 · #bb6b41 · #655ca8 · #2a1f59 · #000301
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#B07151 · #A57760 · #997C6D
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.
