Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #6b0200 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
