Under warm 2700K interior light Overgrowth shifts subtly: leans toward yellow; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.6), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.96:1 and against black 10.73:1, 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.
#ddffbf · #9fe058 · #88cc33 · #598f00 · #3e6600 · #264100
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.
#6dfabf · #73e584 · #88cc33 · #a0ad00 · #a59000 · #a17600
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.
#88cc33 · #44a99b · #558900 · #006a60 · #2c4a00 · #002f29
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.
#cbe0b9 · #88cc33 · #a456d2 · #3e5e17 · #243f00 · #102000
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f7edff · #88cc33 · #919e86 · #605965 · #1e2a12 · #020004
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.
#f5effa · #cdc6d2 · #a098a6 · #281e2e · #06010b · #88cc33
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#dbd6b0 · #88cc33 · #cc2bc9 · #517357 · #323358 · #21060e
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#f3c9be · #88cc33 · #949cc9 · #aa55a2 · #363753 · #121004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e8f3ff · #88cc33 · #469df3 · #ac0041 · #4d0018 · #000619
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#92C85C · #9CC378 · #A5BE90
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.
