Under warm 2700K interior light Duck Hunt 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), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 8.77:1 and against black 2.4:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. 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.
#74aa70 · #498644 · #005800 · #003d00 · #001a00 · #000200
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.
#007b65 · #006940 · #005800 · #2d4200 · #2f2f00 · #281f00
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.
#82cdcc · #75af70 · #009392 · #2b6f6f · #005800 · #003900
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.
#ba75c3 · #596c57 · #005800 · #11340f · #001800 · #000200
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8eef9 · #9dab9b · #645d65 · #005800 · #273425 · #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 · #005800
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#fdebff · #c68fce · #83418c · #005800 · #4a1451 · #000200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e5d0f1 · #bdb2d3 · #d87999 · #605275 · #005800 · #121104
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ebf2ff · #81a6ea · #9f393b · #005800 · #5d0812 · #000012
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#1E551B · #2D522A · #384E36
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.
