- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony: complementary] — Steel Blue sits directly opposite #6c370f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/steelblue
- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #6c370f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6c370f wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6c370f reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
