How Radishical behaves under real light

Under warm 2700K interior light Radishical shifts subtly: leans toward orange; 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.

Test Radishical in the color lighting simulator — sweep it through daylight, warm 2700K light, 4000K LED, and shade alongside the rest of your palette.

Contrast & accessibility

Against white it measures 3.66:1 and against black 5.74:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.

Colors that go with Radishical

Tonal

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.

#ffdce0 · #ff9dad · #ec4872 · #c72d59 · #95003a · #5d0021

Analogous

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.

#ff9065 · #fb6b63 · #ec4872 · #c93e84 · #a4388c · #7f338c

Shifted

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.

#da9e68 · #ec4872 · #bd375a · #7b4400 · #6f0029 · #341800

Contrast

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.

Quiet Support

The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.

#def8f6 · #c19fa3 · #ec4872 · #657776 · #44252a · #000202

Bright Accent

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.

#e7f5f4 · #bccdcc · #8ea1a0 · #0e2928 · #000706 · #ec4872

Complementary

The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.

#c6fffa · #00c2ba · #ec4872 · #00847f · #003835 · #120002

Split-complementary

The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.

#c6fffa · #20c785 · #ec4872 · #00809b · #003a22 · #000408

Triadic

Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.

#e5fbd0 · #88bc43 · #ec4872 · #0075c9 · #00315a · #010500

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Using Radishical

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.
