Under warm 2700K interior light Lime Green 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 2.12:1 and against black 9.91:1, 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.
#d6ffd3 · #69ea64 · #32cd32 · #009808 · #006d03 · #004601
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.
#00f3cb · #00e191 · #32cd32 · #7cab00 · #8b8d00 · #8b7300
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.
#32cd32 · #00a1a1 · #008806 · #006060 · #004601 · #002626
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.
#b5dab2 · #32cd32 · #c749d8 · #377b34 · #1c5a1a · #113810
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fdebff · #32cd32 · #80977e · #5e525f · #122a10 · #030004
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.
#f7eef8 · #cfc5d0 · #a397a4 · #2a1d2c · #080109 · #32cd32
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#fdebff · #32cd32 · #c363cf · #8a0099 · #3d0045 · #000200
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e2cdee · #32cd32 · #a28cc0 · #b9567f · #3b3249 · #100f04
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ebf2ff · #32cd32 · #518afe · #a5001f · #4a0008 · #000012
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#5CC758 · #77C073 · #8DB989
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.
