Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Mustard (#CCCB30) with Teal (#137659) at a contrast ratio of 3.22:1, which is WCAG AA large. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 1 more reach 3:1 for large text.

All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #CCCB30 as the background, #A1BE24 for cards and surfaces, #5CAD0B as the primary brand color, #1B9458 as the accent, and #042017 for text (a computed darker shade of Teal, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue lead and let the others support it. Keep one color noticeably lighter or darker than the rest so the layout has a clear focal point.
