Against white it measures 6.47:1 and against black 3.25:1, so white 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.
#abb3b5 · #848d8f · #566062 · #3e4748 · #1f2728 · #050a0c
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.
#588c81 · #3a7b7b · #566062 · #19556b · #1b415c · #1b2e4b
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.
#aab8d3 · #8099c8 · #6f7b91 · #566062 · #064b56 · #002f37
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.
#a6c8cf · #b57b70 · #566062 · #324347 · #052930 · #000e12
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efed · #a9b6b8 · #7c7675 · #566062 · #3b484b · #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.
#eef3f4 · #c5cacb · #566062 · #1f2627 · #020506 · #e5553f
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#eef3f4 · #c5cacb · #566062 · #1f2627 · #020506 · #edbc4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedea · #d6a59c · #9f675c · #566062 · #633830 · #000305
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedea · #d4a3b0 · #986d49 · #566062 · #613643 · #110400
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fbedf9 · #caa5c5 · #887641 · #566062 · #524418 · #030003
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#475051 · #384041 · #2A3132 · #1C2223 · #0F1415
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.
