## Colors that go with #6e082d

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 #6e082d 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 [pool] — Crimson is paired with #6e082d in 4 real palettes, including M&M's's brand system and Burger King's brand system, as the supporting colour. Seen in: M&M's (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/mms-com), Burger King (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bk-com), Lenovo (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/lenovo-com), Tim Hortons (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/timhortons-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #6e082d: 3 real palettes, including Heinz's brand system and Hinge's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Heinz (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/heinz-com), Hinge (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hinge-co), Box (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/box-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #6e082d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Rust** #b7410e [harmony, pool: analogous] — Rust is #6e082d'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 #6e082d: 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
- **Copper** #b87333 [pool] — Designers have shipped Copper with #6e082d: two real palettes: Bramble and Chipotle's brand system, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Bramble (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/muted#bramble), Chipotle (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/chipotle-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/copper
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #6e082d wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #6e082d reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
