- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony: split] — Steel Blue is a split-complement of #742006: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/steelblue
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #742006 wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #742006 reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
