Under warm 2700K interior light Toad King shifts subtly: leans toward yellow-green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.2), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 6.05:1 and against black 3.47:1, so white text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.
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.
#9abeaa · #709983 · #3d6c54 · #25513c · #05301e · #001006
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.
#588f8c · #437f70 · #3d6c54 · #375a37 · #364620 · #31330b
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.
#9dc2ca · #60a8b7 · #64848b · #3d6c54 · #215039 · #063421
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.
#b0ccbc · #b785a5 · #3d6c54 · #38463e · #122d20 · #041109
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f7eff4 · #acb7b1 · #7e787c · #3d6c54 · #404b44 · #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.
#e5f7ec · #bad0c3 · #3d6c54 · #092e1d · #000903 · #e05eba
The same quiet ground carrying one bright gold voice — the high-energy pairing a cool or muted anchor cannot reach through its own temperature.
#e5f7ec · #bad0c3 · #3d6c54 · #092e1d · #000903 · #f2ba4d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d6d9b3 · #94c286 · #e16072 · #3d6c54 · #523956 · #1c0903
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fdecf6 · #c0aad1 · #a16870 · #3d6c54 · #523e61 · #060001
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#eff1ff · #acb1db · #a16b58 · #3d6c54 · #653b2d · #010007
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#466A57 · #4E6759 · #55655C
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.
