Under warm 2700K interior light Wisteria shifts subtly: drifts toward magenta; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.9), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

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.
#f4e3ff · #d7b0ef · #a87dc2 · #8b63a2 · #654279 · #412252
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.
#abb1ed · #a997da · #a87dc2 · #a0699e · #94577b · #84475b
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.
#d0a2ac · #a87dc2 · #86639b · #883950 · #4c2d5d · #3a1520
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.
#a9d388 · #a87dc2 · #776b7f · #5d486a · #3e2c49 · #201427
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#eef4ea · #a87dc2 · #7b7380 · #454942 · #211926 · #000100
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.
#eef4e9 · #c4ccbf · #979f91 · #1c2615 · #010500 · #a87dc2
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#f4eec8 · #a4ed9e · #a87dc2 · #9f649e · #37493c · #08072b
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#eaf7e0 · #a87dc2 · #817836 · #005538 · #221d00 · #000602
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ffefdc · #a87dc2 · #976e37 · #005351 · #002322 · #140700
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#A382B8 · #9F87AE · #9A8BA3
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.
