- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #81124c on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #81124c: 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
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #81124c's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
