Under warm 2700K interior light Jade shifts subtly: leans toward yellow-green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 3.08:1 and against black 6.81:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.
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.
#a3fdcb · #6cd79f · #00a86b · #008856 · #005f3b · #003921
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.
#3fcac4 · #06ba9b · #00a86b · #439040 · #577713 · #5d5e00
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.
#72b9c7 · #00a86b · #008554 · #005f6c · #004529 · #00262c
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.
#a4e4bf · #98b9a5 · #00a86b · #a2458a · #245b3f · #173a28
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fcedf6 · #9aafa2 · #00a86b · #7a6f76 · #1f3529 · #030002
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.
#f9eef5 · #d2c4cd · #a697a0 · #2d1c28 · #0a0106 · #00a86b
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffebf8 · #da8bc2 · #00a86b · #a94b90 · #540644 · #000401
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ebcfb2 · #ba90d8 · #00a86b · #785158 · #493951 · #091003
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#eff1ff · #99a1f3 · #00a86b · #b94d27 · #571600 · #010010
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
