Against white it measures 2.98:1 and against black 7.06:1, 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.
#b0ffba · #6ddc81 · #00ad43 · #008d35 · #006323 · #003d11
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.
#00d1b8 · #00bf87 · #00ad43 · #589000 · #6a7400 · #695c00
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.
#5ac1c6 · #00ad43 · #008a33 · #006266 · #004917 · #00282a
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.
#a6e8ae · #9abc9d · #00ad43 · #a63aa6 · #255e30 · #183c1f
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fcecfb · #9cb29e · #00ad43 · #7c717b · #203723 · #030003
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.
#f8eef7 · #d0c5cf · #a497a3 · #2b1d2b · #080108 · #00ad43
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d9dab5 · #96af7c · #00ad43 · #8b21be · #313c67 · #0c0930
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#dfccee · #ac9ecb · #00ad43 · #944469 · #443954 · #0e1004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#ecf2ff · #87a7ff · #00ad43 · #cd352e · #620003 · #010012
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#43A857 · #5FA269 · #739C78
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.
