Against white it measures 4.6:1 and against black 4.57:1, 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.
#91dc91 · #60b662 · #118822 · #006a13 · #004307 · #001f01
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.
#00c5c7 · #459e9f · #118822 · #006712 · #004708 · #002728
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.
#b5e6b4 · #c86dd0 · #118822 · #405940 · #0c4010 · #052006
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#faedfb · #7f917e · #118822 · #5c545d · #172917 · #020003
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.
#f7eef8 · #cfc5d0 · #a397a4 · #2a1d2b · #080109 · #118822
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#feebff · #b36cb9 · #118822 · #82298a · #3e0044 · #000200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f1cfb7 · #be8f9b · #9c6ecc · #118822 · #625377 · #0f0f03
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ebf2ff · #6188dd · #118822 · #a01822 · #4b0006 · #000012
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Its chroma is high enough to carry accents, calls to action, and focal moments; large fields of it will dominate a composition. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
