Under warm 2700K interior light Feijoa 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 ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.66:1 and against black 12.66:1, 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.
#dbffc5 · #a5d785 · #84b267 · #628a47 · #426529 · #24410a
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.
#a5f8d5 · #a0e9af · #a5d785 · #acbc67 · #ada251 · #a78945
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.
#a5d785 · #7ab3ac · #6d9553 · #007b72 · #37591d · #003d38
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.
#e0efd7 · #a5d785 · #9f6db7 · #526a43 · #364b29 · #1f2c16
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#a5d785 · #ada6b1 · #707a6b · #4a454c · #172012 · #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.
#f6eff9 · #cdc5d2 · #a198a6 · #281d2e · #07010b · #a5d785
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#a5d785 · #b2a3ba · #8b649e · #5e2e74 · #2d043d · #000200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#a5d785 · #b2a3ba · #6f6ead · #712657 · #1a0e4a · #060003
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#a5d785 · #9aabc0 · #4c78ae · #7a2233 · #3e000e · #00051a
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
