## Colors that go with #6d1c49

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 #6d1c49 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Saffron (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#saffron). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #6d1c49's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Lenovo (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/lenovo-com), M&M's (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/mms-com), Burger King (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bk-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
- **Taupe** #483c32 [pool] — Taupe is paired with #6d1c49 in 3 real palettes, including Superhuman's brand system and Bookshop, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Superhuman (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/superhuman-com), Bookshop (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/editorial#bookshop), Blush (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#blush). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/taupe
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #6d1c49: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Blush Pink** #e8b4b8 [pool] — Two real palettes: Nursery and Blush put Blush Pink beside #6d1c49, as the lead colour. Seen in: Nursery (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#nursery), Blush (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#blush). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/blush-pink
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #6d1c49: 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 #6d1c49 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6d1c49 reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #6d1c49: two real palettes: Hinge's brand system and Heinz's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Hinge (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hinge-co), Heinz (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/heinz-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
