Against white it measures 2.91:1 and against black 7.22:1, 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.
#b9fdee · #87d6c6 · #46a795 · #2c8a79 · #006456 · #003e35
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.
#7fc6d4 · #5fb7b7 · #46a795 · #4b9273 · #4f7d54 · #50683a
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.
#95b9cc · #46a795 · #368677 · #006285 · #004a3f · #01293a
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.
#b5e5da · #a3bcb6 · #46a795 · #a05a72 · #355d55 · #233d37
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#faeef1 · #46a795 · #6e7d79 · #4e4648 · #11211d · #020001
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.
#fbeef1 · #d4c4c8 · #a8969b · #2f1c22 · #0b0003 · #46a795
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d3d8b3 · #87b97f · #46a795 · #a021a5 · #3f3a63 · #11082e
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#dfd2ae · #dc80d4 · #46a795 · #7a5d57 · #533d4e · #051303
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f4efff · #46a795 · #7f6fa0 · #6d3901 · #311500 · #020008
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.
