- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #6a0bb7: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Royal Blue is #6a0bb7's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
