Under warm 2700K interior light Teakwood shifts subtly: leans toward red; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.3), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 3.93:1 and against black 5.34:1, so black 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.
#e2d6c8 · #bcae9f · #8d7e6d · #716354 · #4d4234 · #2c2217
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.
#aca77d · #a59063 · #8d7e6d · #8f6447 · #7e5143 · #6a413f
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.
#b5c791 · #9aa38a · #8d7e6d · #7b5e3a · #5d4222 · #2a321a
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.
#f4e6d6 · #d6c1a8 · #aba093 · #8d7e6d · #3f648a · #50402d
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#edf2f9 · #a29b92 · #8d7e6d · #63676b · #302921 · #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.
#f7f1ea · #d1c9c1 · #8d7e6d · #33291e · #110801 · #f4aa49
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#e8f3ff · #809fc0 · #8d7e6d · #456a90 · #0e2c49 · #100500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e8f3ff · #71a5b6 · #8d7e6d · #5f6291 · #00303d · #010007
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f7f5 · #6fa8a5 · #8d7e6d · #745a87 · #342041 · #000202
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#8A7F71 · #887F76 · #85807A
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.
