## Colors that go with #5c052f

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

- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #5c052f's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #5c052f 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/teal
- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #5c052f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
