## Colors that go with #6e021f

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 #6e021f 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 #6e021f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Hershey's (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hersheys-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/steelblue
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #6e021f in 3 real palettes, including M&M's's brand system and Burger King's brand system, as the supporting colour.

- **Rust** #b7410e [harmony, pool: analogous] — Rust is #6e021f's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Garnet (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#garnet). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/rust
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #6e021f: 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
