- **Dark Orchid** #9932cc [harmony: complementary] — Dark Orchid sits directly opposite #17520a on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkorchid

- **Medium Violet Red** #c71585 [harmony: split] — Medium Violet Red is a split-complement of #17520a: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumvioletred
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #17520a wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #17520a reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
