Against white it measures 3.56:1 and against black 5.91:1, 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.
#e6e0c9 · #beb89f · #8f886c · #736d53 · #504a34 · #2f2a17
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.
#a2b48c · #9b9e6e · #8f886c · #8c7145 · #7f5d3d · #6f4a37
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.
#97ad99 · #8f886c · #756a3e · #305a36 · #3e3409 · #0d2110
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.
#f8f1d5 · #d4cdaf · #adaa9a · #8f886c · #515987 · #312d1e
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f0f1f9 · #a6a399 · #8f886c · #6c6d72 · #302d23 · #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.
#f5f2e7 · #cecbbe · #8f886c · #302b18 · #0e0900 · #dfc34d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#eef1ff · #98a1c9 · #8f886c · #616a99 · #252a4d · #080400
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#eef1ff · #84a8c7 · #8f886c · #786290 · #0c304b · #020005
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e2f6fb · #77adbb · #8f886c · #895c7e · #412039 · #000305
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#8D8872 · #8C8878 · #8A887E
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.
