Colors that go with #803e28
Teal, Champagne and Sage Green 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.

Steel Blue #4682b4

Charcoal #36454f
