- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #6b0032 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #6b0032: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #6b0032: 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

- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6b0032 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6b0032 reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
- **Pale Goldenrod** #eee8aa [pool] — Two real palettes: Blossom and Macaron put Pale Goldenrod beside #6b0032, as the accent. Seen in: Blossom (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#blossom), Macaron (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#macaron). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/palegoldenrod
