- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #5e124a 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 #5e124a wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #5e124a 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 #5e124a: 3 real palettes, including Hinge's brand system and Heinz's brand system, as the accent.

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #5e124a: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #5e124a: 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
