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

Against white it measures 7.41:1 and against black 2.83:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid black 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.
#88b192 · #5e8c6a · #2a603b · #114624 · #00240c · #000600
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.
#448279 · #32715b · #2a603b · #2f4c20 · #2f3805 · #292500
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.
#89b4b9 · #449ca4 · #52777a · #2a603b · #164325 · #00280e
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.
#bb89b3 · #68766b · #2a603b · #233d2a · #0a2011 · #000702
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f7eff5 · #a5b0a7 · #706a6f · #2a603b · #333e36 · #020102
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.
#f8eff6 · #d0c5ce · #a498a2 · #2c1e2a · #090108 · #2a603b
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d5d5b0 · #9ab780 · #9354ea · #2a603b · #2b3b67 · #040a33
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fdecfa · #b4a3d1 · #945769 · #2a603b · #42315a · #050001
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#edf1ff · #9dabd8 · #97594d · #2a603b · #5a2b23 · #01010c
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.
