Charcoal, Dark Olive Green and Dodger Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal #36454f

Dodger Blue #1e90ff

Medium Orchid #ba55d3
complementaryMedium Orchid sits directly opposite #78a42d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Cornflower Blue #6495ed
