## Colors that go with #85295d

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #85295d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #85295d: 4 real palettes, including Hinge's brand system and State Farm's brand system, as the accent.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #85295d: 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
- **Rust** #b7410e [harmony, pool: analogous] — Rust is #85295d's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Garnet (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#garnet), Wayfair (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/wayfair-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/rust
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #85295d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Champagne** #f7e7ce [pool] — Two real palettes: Bramble and Darkroom put Champagne beside #85295d, as the text colour against it. Seen in: Bramble (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/muted#bramble), Darkroom (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/muted#darkroom). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/champagne
