Under warm 2700K interior light Juicy Lime 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 1.76:1 and against black 11.95:1, 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.
#e4ffa4 · #b1cf5d · #94af44 · #708823 · #4f6200 · #313e00
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.
#a3f7be · #a6e591 · #b1cf5d · #b9b240 · #b99730 · #b17d2f
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.
#b1cf5d · #6fb09e · #778e2f · #007761 · #415200 · #003a2e
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.
#dfe9ca · #b1cf5d · #96a66e · #855cba · #394515 · #202708
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#b1cf5d · #a6a1af · #707663 · #46434c · #191e0b · #010003
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.
#f3effb · #cbc6d3 · #9e99a8 · #251e30 · #05010d · #b1cf5d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#b8e8e1 · #b1cf5d · #de3bc9 · #577d55 · #39375e · #23060a
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#bbe7f6 · #b1cf5d · #dd84cb · #7a799b · #303e5f · #031107
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#b1cf5d · #8da8be · #2479b0 · #7d103f · #3b0018 · #000511
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#B4CC77 · #B7CA8D · #BAC6A1
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.
