- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #661a45 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Saffron (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#saffron). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role, pool] — Cream is the surface #661a45 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #661a45 reads softer on it than on pure white. Seen in: MetaMask (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/metamask-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
