Under warm 2700K interior light Sage Green 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.

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.
#dccec0 · #b6a797 · #887766 · #6c5d4d · #493b2e · #281d11
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.
#a7a076 · #a0895d · #887766 · #895d43 · #774b3f · #643a3b
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.
#b2bf88 · #959c82 · #887766 · #765735 · #583c1d · #272c13
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.
#eedecf · #d0b9a2 · #a5998d · #887766 · #365e83 · #4b3928
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#ecf3f9 · #9c948c · #887766 · #5d6165 · #2e261e · #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.
#f8f0e9 · #d2c9c1 · #887766 · #34291d · #120701 · #f3a448
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e7f3ff · #7899b9 · #887766 · #3b6489 · #072a45 · #120500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e7f3ff · #6a9fae · #887766 · #565c8b · #002d38 · #010007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f7f4 · #69a29b · #887766 · #6c5582 · #301e40 · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#85786A · #82786F · #7F7973
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.
