Under warm 2700K interior light Summit shifts subtly: leans toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it shifts subtly: leans toward sky blue. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.9), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.21:1 and against black 9.48:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.
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.
#d6fafc · #aad2d4 · #8bb6b8 · #5f8586 · #3f6062 · #203e3f
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.
#aee0cb · #8ecec4 · #8bb6b8 · #66a5b6 · #5f8fa8 · #5b7a97
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.
#8bb6b8 · #7e90a5 · #3e7c7f · #34567d · #004346 · #112234
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.
#c0d4d5 · #8bb6b8 · #b37877 · #2f5355 · #153537 · #05191a
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efef · #8bb6b8 · #879494 · #5c5655 · #192627 · #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.
#e5f6f6 · #8bb6b8 · #2a4647 · #09292a · #000607 · #e44e5a
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e5f6f6 · #8bb6b8 · #2a4647 · #09292a · #000607 · #eebc4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedec · #8bb6b8 · #b38382 · #7c4546 · #3d1517 · #000203
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedec · #8bb6b8 · #ae8296 · #794a30 · #391528 · #0f0200
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f9edfc · #8bb6b8 · #a285a8 · #6d5221 · #322000 · #030004
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#93B4B6 · #9AB2B3 · #A1B0B1
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.
