- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #4c013e on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #4c013e: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hinge (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hinge-co), Volkswagen (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/vw-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role, pool] — Cream is the surface #4c013e wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #4c013e reads softer on it than on pure white. Seen in: MetaMask (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/metamask-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #4c013e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
