Teal, Taupe and Charcoal 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.
Teal #008080

Charcoal #36454f

Steel Blue #4682b4

Sea Green #2e8b57
