Under warm 2700K interior light Verdigris shifts subtly: leans toward green; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.9), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 2.53:1 and against black 8.3:1, 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.
#c5fffb · #80dcd7 · #43b3ae · #1f8e8a · #006764 · #00413f
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.
#8bd1ea · #66c2cf · #43b3ae · #459f8a · #4a8b68 · #4e754b
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.
#a3c3dd · #43b3ae · #36918d · #266998 · #005451 · #123148
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.
#bcf2ee · #adc8c6 · #43b3ae · #b1646f · #3a6865 · #294645
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fbeeef · #43b3ae · #778887 · #554d4e · #122423 · #030101
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.
#fceeef · #d5c5c6 · #ab989a · #331e21 · #0f0103 · #43b3ae
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#ffedee · #43b3ae · #ae7078 · #7c3442 · #3f0716 · #000202
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffedee · #43b3ae · #a57192 · #7c391f · #390a2c · #190200
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#f7edff · #43b3ae · #9376a8 · #6f4500 · #301b00 · #030007
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#5FAFAB · #74ABA8 · #86A7A4
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.
