Colors that go with #312012
Charcoal, Royal Blue 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.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #312012: 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 #312012: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Sienna #a0522d
analogousshippedSienna is #312012's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Slate Blue #6a5acd
triadicshippedSlate Blue completes a triad with #312012 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Steel Blue #4682b4
complementaryshippedSteel Blue sits directly opposite #312012 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Teal #008080
split-complementshippedTeal is a split-complement of #312012: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

Sepia Mono
Open in tool →A single warm brown from espresso to oat — the sepia scale as a working palette, not a filter.
