Under warm 2700K interior light Medium Sea Green shifts subtly: leans toward yellow-green; 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.

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.
#d2ffe0 · #82e1a5 · #3cb371 · #1d9457 · #006b3b · #004423
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.
#59d6cb · #3dc6a1 · #3cb371 · #5a9a48 · #688121 · #6c6800
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.
#80c6d0 · #3cb371 · #2f905a · #006c77 · #00522c · #003136
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.
#b6f0c9 · #a7c5b0 · #3cb371 · #aa539a · #356547 · #254330
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fbedf7 · #3cb371 · #718477 · #52494f · #102418 · #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.
#f9eef6 · #d1c4ce · #a597a1 · #2c1c29 · #090107 · #3cb371
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffebfa · #3cb371 · #a8629a · #78236a · #3a0032 · #000601
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#eac6dc · #c89faa · #3cb371 · #7f4ba8 · #354264 · #051412
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#eef1ff · #3cb371 · #6b78c3 · #892102 · #3f0600 · #010011
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

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.
