Against white it measures 4.07:1 and against black 5.16:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.
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.
#abe2a8 · #7ebb7c · #468d45 · #2e702e · #094c0d · #002801
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.
#4fb39b · #43a173 · #468d45 · #56751e · #5a5d00 · #554700
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.
#23d0d1 · #67a5a5 · #468d45 · #336d32 · #184f19 · #003030
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.
#d0e9cf · #a3caa1 · #8ea28c · #468d45 · #7c3e83 · #274626
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8eef9 · #8c998b · #468d45 · #645e65 · #1f2c1e · #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.
#f7eef8 · #cfc5d0 · #a397a4 · #2a1d2c · #080109 · #468d45
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d7dab5 · #ed78c7 · #468d45 · #5d6e4c · #363155 · #1f050b
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#b3ddee · #cc629e · #468d45 · #57688e · #4c4c67 · #05130f
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ebf2ff · #7494d4 · #468d45 · #9c3d3c · #50020a · #000010
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#548952 · #60865E · #6A8269
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.
