Under warm 2700K interior light Elite Teal shifts subtly: drifts toward blue-green; in north-facing or shaded light it shifts subtly: leans toward blue. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 0.8), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 13.49:1 and against black 1.56:1, 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.
#8ea3a6 · #667e82 · #405b5f · #133337 · #001b1f · #000304
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.
#778760 · #5a7856 · #3b694f · #19594a · #004744 · #133337
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.
#aebfd9 · #71a9b1 · #6481ad · #306d75 · #3b485c · #133337
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.
#b27771 · #4f6f73 · #3c4e50 · #133337 · #00181b · #000304
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9efee · #aab7b9 · #7f7877 · #3a484a · #133337 · #1d1615
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.
#e7f5f6 · #bdcdcf · #8fa1a3 · #133337 · #000709 · #e34f49
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e7f5f6 · #bdcdcf · #8fa1a3 · #133337 · #000709 · #edbc4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedeb · #d8a6a0 · #a26963 · #633732 · #133337 · #001d21
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedeb · #d5a5b5 · #9c6f4e · #603646 · #133337 · #251306
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#faedfa · #c9a7c9 · #8e7744 · #544218 · #133337 · #211221
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

As a deep tone it works for grounding elements — text, outlines, and shadowed surfaces — rather than open fields. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
