Under warm 2700K interior light Lush 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 ≈ 1.9), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.37:1 and against black 15.34:1, 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.
#e2ffab · #bbee00 · #8cb300 · #6b8a00 · #4c6300 · #2f3f00
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.
#bbee00 · #d1cc00 · #d5ad00 · #d39000 · #cd7200 · #c94f00
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.
#bbee00 · #60cfb5 · #84a900 · #008f78 · #506800 · #004f41
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.
#bbee00 · #acbc8e · #9446dc · #475c00 · #2d3c00 · #151f00
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#bbee00 · #bfb6cb · #7d876b · #514c5a · #1b2405 · #020005
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 · #9f99a7 · #261e30 · #05010d · #bbee00
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#bbee00 · #c4b1de · #9a62d6 · #6a06ac · #2e0050 · #010400
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#e1f7ff · #bbee00 · #e1acd0 · #7b72c9 · #344062 · #041309
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#bbee00 · #97c0e2 · #008ad5 · #930044 · #42001a · #000614
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#C1EA5F · #C7E687 · #CDE1A8
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.
