## Colors that go with #56014d

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

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #56014d 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
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role, pool] — Cream is the surface #56014d wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #56014d reads softer on it than on pure white. Seen in: MetaMask (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/metamask-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #56014d: 3 real palettes, including Heinz's brand system and Hinge's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Heinz (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/heinz-com), Hinge (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hinge-co), Box (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/box-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #56014d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: split] — Olive Green is a split-complement of #56014d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive
- **Blue** #0000ff [pool] — Two real palettes: Sketch's brand system and Tim Hortons's brand system put Blue beside #56014d, as the accent. Seen in: Sketch (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/sketch-com), Tim Hortons (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/timhortons-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/blue
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #56014d: 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). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #56014d in two real palettes: Lenovo's brand system and Tim Hortons's brand system, as the supporting colour.
