#08353frgb(8, 53, 63)hsl(191, 77%, 14%)oklch(0.305 0.049 216.5)Crimson, Rust and Sienna 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.
Crimson is a split-complement of #08353f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Rust sits directly opposite #08353f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

15 real palettes, including Instacart's brand system and Headspace's brand system put Blue beside #08353f, as the accent.
