Under warm 2700K interior light Submerged shifts subtly: leans toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 4.62:1 and against black 4.55:1, 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.
#abd2d5 · #7fabb0 · #4a7d82 · #326266 · #123f43 · #001f22
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.
#72a393 · #52928c · #4a7d82 · #2d6b7d · #2b5770 · #29435f
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.
#90b2df · #8292a8 · #4a7d82 · #226167 · #01454a · #152437
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.
#c6dfe1 · #98bec2 · #85989a · #4a7d82 · #784340 · #1d3d40
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efee · #849192 · #4a7d82 · #5e5857 · #1a2729 · #020101
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.
#e3f6f8 · #b7ced0 · #4a7d82 · #00292d · #000607 · #e34f50
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e3f6f8 · #b7ced0 · #4a7d82 · #00292d · #000607 · #eebc4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedeb · #b0807c · #4a7d82 · #7f4845 · #3e1615 · #000203
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedeb · #ac7f91 · #4a7d82 · #7a4d2f · #3b1627 · #110300
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#faedfb · #a082a3 · #4a7d82 · #6e5623 · #322200 · #030004
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#547B7F · #5E797C · #667779
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.
