#3684abrgb(54, 132, 171)hsl(200, 52%, 44%)oklch(0.582 0.096 233.7)Charcoal, Copper and Crimson 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 is the text near-black for #3684ab: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Copper sits directly opposite #3684ab on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Crimson is a split-complement of #3684ab: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Royal Blue is #3684ab's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Amber is paired with #3684ab in 9 real palettes, including Beach Hut and Wired's brand system, as the supporting colour.
4 real palettes, including Activision's brand system and Qualcomm's brand system put Blue beside #3684ab, as the accent.
Designers have shipped Cobalt Blue with #3684ab: 8 real palettes, including Hershey's's brand system and Glacier, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Deep Sky Blue with #3684ab: 5 real palettes, including Telegram's brand system and Deep Water, as the lead colour.
