- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #842e5f: 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
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #842e5f: 3 real palettes, including Hinge's brand system and State Farm's brand system, as the accent.

- **Rust** #b7410e [harmony, pool: analogous] — Rust is #842e5f's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #842e5f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
