Under warm 2700K interior light Savoy Blue shifts subtly: leans toward purple, loses intensity; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 5.34:1 and against black 3.93:1, 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.
#adc1ff · #7b95f9 · #4b61d1 · #3546ad · #1c227f · #09004f
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.
#289bdb · #3680d9 · #4b61d1 · #5b47b1 · #5e308d · #591c68
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.
#dd80e8 · #a579aa · #4b61d1 · #3647a2 · #202b7d · #330738
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.
#edbe00 · #828daf · #4b61d1 · #3c4b83 · #222d5e · #0e1533
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8f2e0 · #80889e · #4b61d1 · #585449 · #1b2137 · #040200
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.
#f6f2e6 · #cfcbbd · #a5a091 · #312a18 · #100900 · #4b61d1
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d1d8b3 · #e29549 · #9174a6 · #4b61d1 · #794c48 · #170728
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fff1cb · #c37116 · #4b61d1 · #4c5d00 · #371a00 · #010200
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffedea · #cf6452 · #4b61d1 · #00662f · #002b0f · #080000
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
