Under warm 2700K interior light Lime Punch shifts subtly: leans toward orange; 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 1.62:1 and against black 12.99:1, 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.
#eaff87 · #c0d725 · #9bae00 · #778600 · #556000 · #353d00
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.
#b5f18c · #c0d725 · #ccb700 · #cc9a00 · #c77e00 · #be6211
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.
#c0d725 · #69bc9f · #849500 · #008063 · #4d5700 · #004131
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.
#e9f2c8 · #c0d725 · #a1ae62 · #7e4fcb · #434c00 · #272e01
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#c0d725 · #ada9bb · #767b63 · #494652 · #1c2005 · #010005
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.
#f3f0fb · #cac6d4 · #9d99a8 · #241f31 · #05010d · #c0d725
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#c0d725 · #afa5cb · #8361c3 · #571f9c · #270050 · #010100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#cde8ff · #c0d725 · #a1b0db · #984c96 · #353a59 · #150e04
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#c0d725 · #8bb2cb · #0081b9 · #860049 · #3d001d · #00050e
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.
