- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [harmony: split] — Royal Blue is a split-complement of #6d2c09: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/royalblue
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6d2c09 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6d2c09 reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
