Sea Green completes a triad with #405877 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Sienna sits directly opposite #405877 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
