Medium Purple, Dodger Blue and Royal Blue 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.
Medium Purple #9370db

Cornflower Blue #6495ed
split-complementshippedCornflower Blue is a split-complement of #8aad0b: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Blue #0000ff
shipped3 real palettes, including Minecraft's brand system and Spotify's brand system put Blue beside #8aad0b, as the accent.
Charcoal #36454f
