Under warm 2700K interior light Leek shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.8), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.66:1 and against black 12.65:1, 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.
#d7ffd1 · #98d98e · #79b470 · #578c50 · #386631 · #194313
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.
#a0fbe0 · #97ebb9 · #98d98e · #a1bf6d · #a4a554 · #a18c44
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.
#98d98e · #77b2b0 · #63975b · #007a78 · #2c5b25 · #003c3c
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.
#dcefd9 · #98d98e · #b276bd · #4c6b47 · #304b2c · #1b2c18
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#98d98e · #aea5af · #6e7a6c · #4a444b · #152013 · #020002
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.
#f7eff8 · #cfc5d0 · #a297a4 · #2a1d2c · #08010a · #98d98e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#98d98e · #b4a1b7 · #906298 · #632c6d · #310239 · #000200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#98d98e · #b4a1b7 · #766bab · #74234e · #200b48 · #0a0003
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#98d98e · #9ca9c0 · #5576af · #7b2328 · #3e0007 · #00000f
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.
