## Colors that go with #331f2d

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #331f2d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Boeing (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/boeing-com), Tide Pool (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/cool#tide-pool), Squarespace (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/squarespace-com), Volkswagen (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/vw-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Dark Olive Green** #556b2f [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Olive Green is a split-complement of #331f2d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #331f2d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
