Colors that go with #221306
Blue Violet, Charcoal 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.
Blue Violet #8a2be2
triadicshippedBlue Violet completes a triad with #221306 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #221306: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Royal Blue #4169e1
split-complementshippedRoyal Blue is a split-complement of #221306: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Rust #b7410e
analogousshippedRust is #221306's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Steel Blue #4682b4

Teal #008080
split-complementshippedTeal is a split-complement of #221306: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
