#405f7drgb(64, 95, 125)hsl(210, 32%, 37%)oklch(0.474 0.061 248.4)Sienna, Amber and Blue 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.
Sienna sits directly opposite #405f7d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Amber is paired with #405f7d in 5 real palettes, including McDonald's's brand system and Lemon Squeezy's brand system, as the lead colour.
6 real palettes, including Activision's brand system and Tesco's brand system put Blue beside #405f7d, as the accent.
Designers have shipped Cobalt Blue with #405f7d: 6 real palettes, including Fintech Trust and Ink & Paper, as the lead colour.
Designers have shipped Copper with #405f7d: 4 real palettes, including Dusk and Desert Road, as the accent.
Crimson is paired with #405f7d in 17 real palettes, including Codecademy's brand system and McDonald's's brand system, as the accent.
Designers have shipped Deep Sky Blue with #405f7d: 4 real palettes, including Lamborghini's brand system and Venmo's brand system, as the supporting colour.
White Smoke is the surface for #405f7d: a clean near-white with no warm cast, so the cool hue stays clear instead of drifting muddy.
