Taupe, Violet and Charcoal 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.

shippedTaupe is paired with #42f5aa in 5 real palettes, including Astro's brand system and 7-Eleven's brand system, as the text colour against it.
Violet #ee82ee
complementaryViolet sits directly opposite #42f5aa on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for #42f5aa: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
