Under warm 2700K interior light Ferntastic shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.5), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.73:1 and against black 7.7:1, 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.
#d8ffce · #a6da99 · #71ab62 · #578d49 · #37672a · #18430b
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.
#7cd3b7 · #71c08f · #71ab62 · #7a9242 · #7c7928 · #786217
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.
#8bc5c2 · #71ab62 · #5a8a4e · #006d6a · #254f19 · #003130
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.
#c9eac1 · #b0c2ac · #71ab62 · #975fa4 · #476141 · #30412c
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f7eef9 · #71ab62 · #778274 · #4f4a50 · #182215 · #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.
#f7eff9 · #cec5d1 · #a298a5 · #291d2d · #07010a · #71ab62
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d8d9b4 · #a2b883 · #71ab62 · #9d4282 · #473d66 · #1e0507
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fbecff · #71ab62 · #7d74b3 · #792b56 · #20104a · #070002
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#eaf2ff · #71ab62 · #5b7fb7 · #802930 · #42000a · #00000f
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.
