Under warm 2700K interior light Mint shifts subtly: drifts toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.8), 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.
#ceffe8 · #81e0b8 · #3eb489 · #1c926b · #006a4b · #00432e
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.
#6ed5d7 · #4fc5b3 · #3eb489 · #539d63 · #5f8542 · #636e26
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.
#8ec6d5 · #3eb489 · #31926e · #006d82 · #00533a · #00323d
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.
#b8f1d7 · #a9c7b9 · #3eb489 · #ad5a8c · #376753 · #274538
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fbedf4 · #3eb489 · #74867d · #534b4f · #11241c · #020001
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.
#faeef4 · #d3c4cc · #a7969f · #2e1c26 · #0a0005 · #3eb489
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d3d9b4 · #3eb489 · #6c9062 · #c92539 · #3e293e · #1b0a03
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#edd1b4 · #3eb489 · #9a70cc · #84646c · #3a2e42 · #0a1304
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f0f0ff · #3eb489 · #7b78ba · #813100 · #3a1100 · #02000e
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.
