Under warm 2700K interior light Dark Green shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black 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.
#79b574 · #4c9147 · #006400 · #004700 · #002300 · #000500
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.
#00876f · #007549 · #006400 · #344a00 · #343500 · #2c2200
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.
#66bab9 · #009f9f · #2e7b7a · #006400 · #004400 · #002700
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.
#bd71c8 · #627760 · #006400 · #173e15 · #002100 · #000700
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9edfa · #a1b1a0 · #6f6870 · #006400 · #2f3e2d · #020002
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 · #2a1d2c · #080109 · #006400
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d3d6b1 · #ee2f90 · #5f6c4b · #006400 · #463557 · #1c0602
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f1cab9 · #a0a4c7 · #bc5b9b · #006400 · #3d3956 · #101104
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ebf2ff · #83abf7 · #b03e41 · #006400 · #6c0f18 · #000012
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#23611F · #335D30 · #40593E
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.
