Against white it measures 5.51:1 and against black 3.81:1, 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.
#ffaca3 · #f37065 · #c62d2c · #a20714 · #690006 · #350001
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.
#d4791e · #d05619 · #c62d2c · #aa1b46 · #8a1153 · #6a0b57
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.
#e09e00 · #ac8645 · #c62d2c · #991b1c · #700007 · #2d1c00
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.
#00ddf1 · #b0837e · #c62d2c · #803630 · #5b1a17 · #310807
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#def7fb · #a0827e · #c62d2c · #495a5c · #361a17 · #000304
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.
#e6f5f7 · #bccdd0 · #8ea1a4 · #0f2a2d · #000709 · #c62d2c
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d4faff · #009cab · #c62d2c · #00626c · #00292e · #080000
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d1d8b3 · #6caca7 · #5588b4 · #c62d2c · #4f5f4c · #1c0d03
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#dafddc · #3ea24e · #c62d2c · #2647bd · #06096f · #000200
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#B6443E · #A6544D · #94605A
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.
