Under warm 2700K interior light Roasted 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), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 6.79:1 and against black 3.09:1, 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.
#c8a89d · #a48175 · #785246 · #5c3a2f · #381b12 · #170200
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.
#967959 · #8c6348 · #785246 · #6d3c3b · #582d37 · #422031
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.
#c0b699 · #a99660 · #827960 · #785246 · #5e3528 · #401c11
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.
#88cde1 · #b3968d · #897873 · #785246 · #52372f · #2f1f1a
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eaf4f6 · #bbafab · #71787a · #785246 · #4d413d · #000102
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.
#ffede8 · #dbc7c0 · #785246 · #41271f · #1e0501 · #ef673a
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#ffede8 · #dbc7c0 · #785246 · #41271f · #1e0501 · #d8c64e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e2f6fc · #87bccc · #3c8194 · #785246 · #0e4c5b · #0d0100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e2f6fc · #86bfb9 · #527aa1 · #785246 · #094f4b · #00030d
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e6f7ec · #92bea4 · #6c72a2 · #785246 · #3c4066 · #000401
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#73554B · #6D5750 · #675955
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.
