Under warm 2700K interior light Pea shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.5), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.09:1 and against black 10.05:1, 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.
#e7ff97 · #bdd853 · #a4bf20 · #738800 · #526100 · #333d00
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.
#90f0aa · #96da72 · #a4bf20 · #aea100 · #ad8500 · #a66b00
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.
#a4bf20 · #55a38b · #6b7e00 · #006751 · #374300 · #002b20
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.
#cfd9b4 · #a4bf20 · #8254c5 · #49560d · #2e3700 · #151b00
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f4efff · #a4bf20 · #929881 · #5b5763 · #222810 · #010004
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.
#f3f0fb · #cac6d4 · #9e99a8 · #251f30 · #05010d · #a4bf20
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#b2e2e0 · #a4bf20 · #7da773 · #ca2abc · #33355c · #21060d
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#b9d8f3 · #a4bf20 · #909bc3 · #a0519e · #323856 · #150e04
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#e5f4ff · #a4bf20 · #2d9edf · #9e1a56 · #4a0023 · #000611
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#A6BD52 · #A9BA71 · #ABB78A
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.
