How Scampi behaves under real light

Under warm 2700K interior light Scampi shifts subtly: leans toward magenta; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Test Scampi 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 5.29:1 and against black 3.97:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.

Colors that go with Scampi

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.

#c3bbee · #9d93cb · #6f63a0 · #554a81 · #352959 · #170b34

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.

#7792bf · #717bb1 · #6f63a0 · #6a4f83 · #623c65 · #552c48

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.

#d592b9 · #a18092 · #6f63a0 · #53497a · #382f5b · #2f1325

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.

#c5cb82 · #8e8b9f · #6f63a0 · #4f4a69 · #322e48 · #181525

Quiet Support

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

#f2f3e9 · #888693 · #6f63a0 · #54554f · #22212d · #010100

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.

#f2f3e7 · #c9cabd · #9c9d8e · #232411 · #040400 · #6f63a0

Complementary

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

#f4efc8 · #ade19f · #9a6aaf · #6f63a0 · #545b45 · #020e2c

Split-complementary

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

#f2f4df · #9f8452 · #6f63a0 · #33612e · #2f1f00 · #000200

Triadic

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

#ffeee4 · #ad7b5d · #6f63a0 · #00644f · #002a20 · #1b0500

Tetradic

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

Using Scampi

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.
