Against white it measures 3.15:1 and against black 6.66:1, 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.
#eaeaea · #c2c2c2 · #919191 · #767676 · #535353 · #323232
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.

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.
#a3b6a1 · #919191 · #827247 · #3e623a · #483b12 · #172815
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.
#e1d6b8 · #b9b3a3 · #919191 · #495784 · #3c341e · #1f190b
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eff2f9 · #919191 · #7a766d · #45474c · #201c13 · #010102
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.
#f2f2f2 · #c9c9c9 · #919191 · #222222 · #030303 · #e7c04d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#edf2ff · #919191 · #68759a · #374470 · #111a3a · #0b0500
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#edf2ff · #919191 · #557b96 · #4d3d69 · #001f33 · #020006
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e1f6fa · #919191 · #49808a · #5d375a · #2c102b · #000305
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#797979 · #616161 · #494949 · #303030 · #181818
Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors.
