Under warm 2700K interior light Avocado shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.4), 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.
#b1d789 · #88b158 · #568203 · #416500 · #274000 · #101e00
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.
#4aac80 · #4a9851 · #568203 · #626700 · #5e5000 · #553b00
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.
#00cab5 · #599f93 · #568203 · #406200 · #2b4400 · #002a24
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.
#cee0bc · #a5c089 · #8b997d · #568203 · #6b358f · #2a3d10
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f6eefd · #87917e · #568203 · #5c5760 · #1f2815 · #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.
#f5effa · #ccc6d2 · #a098a7 · #271e2f · #06010c · #568203
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#aededa · #90c990 · #a075ae · #568203 · #411aac · #041121
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f0c8b9 · #da7bbb · #8582a4 · #568203 · #605983 · #130f04
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e8f3ff · #5092d1 · #568203 · #982a47 · #4b0019 · #000515
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.
