## Colors that go with #455c0f

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Blue Violet** #8a2be2 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Blue Violet sits directly opposite #455c0f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Gemstone (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#gemstone). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/blueviolet
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #455c0f: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
