Under warm 2700K interior light Broccoli 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 ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.42:1 and against black 8.66:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.
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.
#dcffc2 · #afd891 · #87b364 · #638a43 · #436524 · #244103
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.
#8fddba · #86c991 · #87b364 · #8d9947 · #8d8031 · #866926
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.
#98d0c7 · #87b364 · #6e9251 · #00796e · #38561b · #003b35
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.
#daf4c8 · #becbb4 · #87b364 · #9a6cb4 · #556a47 · #3c4932
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f6effa · #87b364 · #838b7d · #545057 · #1c2416 · #020103
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 · #cdc5d2 · #a198a6 · #281e2e · #06010b · #87b364
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dbd6b0 · #87b364 · #6e997b · #b04693 · #322e51 · #1e050b
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f8edff · #87b364 · #7f81bf · #7c3363 · #1d154e · #060003
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e9f3ff · #87b364 · #5d8bbf · #863040 · #450014 · #000519
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#8DB073 · #93AD81 · #99AA8E
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.
