Under warm 2700K interior light Botanical shifts subtly: drifts toward yellow-green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 5.85:1 and against black 3.59:1, 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.
#a5c190 · #7d9b65 · #4d6e2f · #355317 · #193100 · #051100
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.
#579479 · #4e8256 · #4d6e2f · #505811 · #4c4200 · #422f00
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.
#96c9c1 · #48b2a4 · #5e8983 · #4d6e2f · #36501d · #1d3503
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.
#beccb5 · #97ab88 · #9671ad · #4d6e2f · #3f4838 · #1f2d13
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f5eff9 · #b1b8ab · #7f7b81 · #4d6e2f · #454d3f · #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.
#f5effa · #cdc6d2 · #a098a6 · #281e2e · #06010b · #4d6e2f
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dbd7b1 · #8abe9b · #ea43b8 · #4d6e2f · #504878 · #200506
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#b4e0ef · #df90cb · #8e92ad · #4d6e2f · #3f4e76 · #04140c
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e9f3ff · #91b9e7 · #af636d · #4d6e2f · #70353d · #000518
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#526C3C · #576A48 · #5B6752
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.
