Under warm 2700K interior light Pompelmo shifts only faintly, with no single dominant change; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.86:1 and against black 7.34:1, 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.
#ffedec · #ffb2ad · #ff6666 · #d04548 · #a0222a · #6f0010
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.
#ffb17c · #ff906a · #ff6666 · #e0577b · #be4c87 · #9b448b
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.
#e3b779 · #ff6666 · #d05252 · #875a00 · #88131e · #422900
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.
#00deec · #ff6666 · #9e726f · #904442 · #6a2928 · #3f1615
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#dff7fa · #ff6666 · #9a7c7a · #435355 · #331716 · #000202
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.
#e6f5f6 · #bccdce · #8da1a2 · #0c282a · #000607 · #ff6666
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d0fbff · #ff6666 · #0096a1 · #005b62 · #00262a · #080000
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d0fbff · #ff6666 · #009b7e · #005779 · #00281e · #00060f
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#dcfcda · #ff6666 · #449a43 · #1142b4 · #001161 · #000200
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
