## Colors that go with #6c040d

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 #6c040d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: split] — Steel Blue is a split-complement of #6c040d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6c040d wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6c040d reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
