- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: split] — Steel Blue is a split-complement of #830b0f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Champagne** #f7e7ce [pool] — 3 real palettes, including Bramble and Darkroom put Champagne beside #830b0f, as the text colour against it.

- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Royal Blue completes a triad with #830b0f — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. Seen in: Bose (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bose-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/royalblue
- **Sienna** #a0522d [harmony, pool: analogous] — Sienna is #830b0f's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Woodsmoke (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/dark#woodsmoke). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/sienna
- **Cream** #fffdd0 [role] — Cream is the surface #830b0f wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #830b0f reads softer on it than on pure white. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cream
