Against white it measures 11.27:1 and against black 1.86:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black 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.
#c9867a · #a75d51 · #843529 · #701c11 · #2f0000 · #080000
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.
#84521e · #7c3810 · #701c11 · #5a0a1c · #42001f · #29001c
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.
#c7af83 · #c77d70 · #976e00 · #6a5631 · #701c11 · #4b0501
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.
#51d9f0 · #9c6f66 · #6f5550 · #701c11 · #3d140e · #180302
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#e6f5f8 · #cab6b2 · #7f898c · #66514d · #701c11 · #1d2a2d
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.
#e7f5f8 · #bdcdd1 · #8fa2a5 · #102b2f · #00080b · #701c11
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ccdab6 · #cda6c0 · #269087 · #445a46 · #701c11 · #1a0e04
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#d8f9ff · #6fcfbe · #368fc8 · #006559 · #701c11 · #042b42
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f9e6 · #8dcd9c · #6c82cf · #42528f · #701c11 · #0c3018
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#67271E · #5D2F28 · #533630
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.
