Colors that go with #02182c
Charcoal, Crimson and Royal Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal #36454f

Royal Blue #4169e1

Rust #b7410e

Sienna #a0522d

Teal #008080
