Under warm 2700K interior light Limolicious shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.5), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.29:1 and against black 9.15:1, 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.
#e3ffa7 · #b9d86c · #97b73a · #6e8909 · #4e6300 · #303e00
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.
#8be6ab · #8dd079 · #97b73a · #a19a08 · #a07f00 · #996600
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.
#97b73a · #539987 · #5f7700 · #005f4d · #2e3c00 · #00241c
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.
#e4f9ba · #c5d0b0 · #97b73a · #885abe · #414f1b · #27300f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f4effe · #97b73a · #89907c · #56535d · #1f2511 · #010004
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.
#f4effb · #cbc6d3 · #9e99a8 · #251e30 · #05010d · #97b73a
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#addcd7 · #97b73a · #73a271 · #c628ac · #313155 · #200508
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#b6d8f1 · #97b73a · #8191b3 · #8c4a9c · #2c3450 · #110d03
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e6f4ff · #97b73a · #3d94d1 · #93204d · #47001e · #000511
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#9AB45A · #9EB273 · #A2AE88
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.
