Under warm 2700K interior light Neo Mint shifts subtly: leans toward yellow-green; in north-facing or shaded light it shifts subtly: leans toward blue-green. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.17:1 and against black 17.89:1, 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.
#aaffcc · #8fdeaf · #6db48b · #4d8c68 · #2d6647 · #0d4329
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.
#aaffcc · #afe7a6 · #b3cd86 · #b3b46c · #af9b59 · #a7834c
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.
#aaffcc · #80b2bb · #579b73 · #007b89 · #1c5e3d · #003e46
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.
#aaffcc · #b4ccbd · #c37eb1 · #436b54 · #294c37 · #162d1f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#aaffcc · #d2c8cf · #849289 · #5a5358 · #18271e · #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 · #d1c4cd · #a697a1 · #2d1c28 · #090107 · #aaffcc
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#aaffcc · #c9d8b5 · #f42f78 · #50734f · #44314f · #1f0602
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#aaffcc · #dac4d3 · #9c80b8 · #86384b · #2f1244 · #0f0002
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#aaffcc · #c5cae1 · #8189c3 · #873c26 · #440c00 · #01000d
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.
