#0d3440rgb(13, 52, 64)hsl(194, 66%, 15%)oklch(0.304 0.048 222.3)Crimson, Denim and Rust 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 #0d3440: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Denim is #0d3440's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
