## Colors that go with #8d0158

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: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #8d0158 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #8d0158: 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
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #8d0158's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Lenovo (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/lenovo-com), State Farm (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/statefarm-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson

- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #8d0158: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Gold** #ffd700 [pool] — Gold shows up next to #8d0158 in two real palettes: Garnet and Mailchimp's brand system, as the accent. Seen in: Garnet (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#garnet), Mailchimp (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/mailchimp-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/gold
