Under warm 2700K interior light Jolly Jade shifts subtly: leans toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it shifts subtly: leans toward sky blue. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.89:1 and against black 11.14:1, 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.
#c9fff3 · #77ccbb · #63b3a4 · #428c7e · #21665a · #004239
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.
#acedfa · #8edddd · #77ccbb · #76b799 · #75a17a · #738b60
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.
#77ccbb · #80a0b1 · #458b7d · #1d6888 · #025045 · #0c2e3e
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.
#cbe3dd · #77ccbb · #ba788d · #386058 · #1d413a · #0c231f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f9eff1 · #77ccbb · #92a19d · #645d5e · #1c2a27 · #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 · #d3c4c8 · #a7979b · #2e1c22 · #0b0103 · #77ccbb
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#cfd9b4 · #77ccbb · #e15947 · #547750 · #4a2f41 · #170b03
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffecf1 · #77ccbb · #b68eb2 · #894b41 · #3a1738 · #060000
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f4efff · #77ccbb · #a394c3 · #825227 · #3e1d00 · #020007
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#88C8BB · #97C4BA · #A5C0BA
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.
