Against white it measures 6.42:1 and against black 3.27:1, 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.
#d6a3d7 · #b279b3 · #864788 · #692f6b · #430f45 · #1d001f
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.
#897aba · #8861a4 · #864788 · #7b3564 · #6c2542 · #591823
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.
#e6adad · #e07d81 · #a27172 · #864788 · #633065 · #451747
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.
#8eda94 · #8f7c8f · #864788 · #583858 · #381d39 · #190819
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ebf5eb · #beb1be · #787f78 · #864788 · #534553 · #000100
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.
#ebf5ec · #c1ccc2 · #93a094 · #182719 · #000500 · #864788
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dcd5b0 · #95c069 · #8e65ae · #864788 · #425746 · #200610
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e3f9e3 · #b2be74 · #00927b · #864788 · #485000 · #000302
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fdf1d6 · #d2b26a · #008e9b · #864788 · #00555d · #0a0400
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.
