Under warm 2700K interior light Green Envy shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.79:1 and against black 7.53:1, 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.
#dcffb0 · #abda68 · #77aa00 · #618b00 · #446400 · #293f00
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.
#5fd79e · #65c366 · #77aa00 · #888c00 · #887200 · #815a00
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.
#72c9b8 · #77aa00 · #5f8901 · #006c5e · #324a00 · #003029
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.
#caeaa4 · #afc09c · #77aa00 · #9352c4 · #496026 · #30401a
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f6eeff · #77aa00 · #76806a · #4d4853 · #18220b · #020004
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.
#f5effa · #ccc6d3 · #a098a7 · #271e2f · #06010c · #77aa00
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#afdfd9 · #89c185 · #77aa00 · #9c72a9 · #2b2cef · #03101a
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f6cdbf · #a8a4cf · #77aa00 · #9c4b84 · #423e5e · #120e04
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e8f3ff · #77aa00 · #2481cb · #8d0039 · #400015 · #000514
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#7EA740 · #85A35D · #8C9F75
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.
