- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: split] — Steel Blue is a split-complement of #66280f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #66280f wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #66280f reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
