Under warm 2700K interior light Pyramid shifts subtly: leans toward red; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 3.8:1 and against black 5.52:1, 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.
#f2d7b3 · #cdae86 · #9f7d4f · #826338 · #5c4119 · #382200
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.
#adab80 · #a69465 · #9f7d4f · #916848 · #805544 · #6d433f
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.
#b5cb96 · #9ca78d · #9f7d4f · #7d613c · #5e4623 · #2b351d
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.
#f7ead9 · #d9c4ab · #aea396 · #9f7d4f · #45668e · #52432f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#edf2f9 · #a59e95 · #9f7d4f · #666a6e · #312a22 · #010204
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.
#ecf2fa · #c3cad3 · #969ea8 · #1c2632 · #01050f · #9f7d4f
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d6dcb7 · #c88c74 · #9f7d4f · #4d3eb6 · #273a64 · #190622
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e9f3ff · #75a8bb · #9f7d4f · #646394 · #003140 · #010007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f7f6 · #71abaa · #9f7d4f · #795c88 · #372142 · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#997F5C · #948067 · #8E8272
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.
