- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #5b062e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role, pool] — Cream is the surface #5b062e wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #5b062e reads softer on it than on pure white. Seen in: MetaMask (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/metamask-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
