#3d520frgb(61, 82, 15)hsl(79, 69%, 19%)oklch(0.407 0.094 125.9)Charcoal, Crimson and Saddle Brown 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 body-text near-black for #3d520f: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Crimson completes a triad with #3d520f — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Designers have shipped Saddle Brown with #3d520f: 4 real palettes, including Bookshop and Domino's's brand system, as the lead colour.
Designers have shipped Sage Green with #3d520f: 6 real palettes, including Pine & Birch and Stone, as the supporting colour.
Blue Violet sits directly opposite #3d520f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Royal Blue is a split-complement of #3d520f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
3 real palettes, including Warp's brand system and Instacart's brand system put Blue beside #3d520f, as the supporting colour.
3 real palettes, including Sweetgreen's brand system and Darkroom put Champagne beside #3d520f, as the supporting colour.
