Under warm 2700K interior light Bottle Green shifts subtly: drifts toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.3), 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.
#80bba3 · #51977c · #006a4e · #004d38 · #00291c · #000a04
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.
#3e898c · #1e7a6f · #006a4e · #1d562f · #264212 · #272e00
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.
#8ebbca · #43a2bb · #567d89 · #006a4e · #004b36 · #002e1f
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.
#a0c7b6 · #be7b9f · #006a4e · #2d4139 · #00281b · #000c06
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9eef3 · #a6b4ae · #787174 · #006a4e · #36453e · #030102
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.
#faeef4 · #d3c4cb · #a7979e · #2e1c25 · #0a0005 · #006a4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d7dbb6 · #93ba82 · #c72fec · #006a4e · #3e416f · #0d082e
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f2caba · #c164c2 · #836564 · #006a4e · #434467 · #041111
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f0f0ff · #aca9df · #a06040 · #006a4e · #633217 · #01000a
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#276751 · #396353 · #476055
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.
