Charcoal, Deep Sky Blue and Taupe 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.

Deep Sky Blue #00bfff
