Against white it measures 7.14:1 and against black 2.94:1, 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.
#80b4a8 · #538f83 · #116356 · #00483d · #00241e · #000705
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.
#4a818b · #2e7272 · #116356 · #17513a · #1c3e21 · #1c2c09
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.
#94b3c4 · #5c98b6 · #5b7684 · #116356 · #00453b · #002922
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.
#9ec0b8 · #b67b8e · #116356 · #2b3c38 · #00231d · #000806
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8eff1 · #a4b1ae · #736d6e · #116356 · #33403d · #020101
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.
#faeef1 · #d2c5c8 · #a6979b · #2d1d22 · #0a0103 · #116356
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d7d6b1 · #eb31c4 · #537752 · #116356 · #41365b · #160624
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffecf1 · #c4a0c1 · #965d55 · #116356 · #50304e · #050000
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f3efff · #b3a6d0 · #906340 · #116356 · #563416 · #020006
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#2A6056 · #395E56 · #455B55
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.
