- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #8f0056 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 #8f0056: 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

- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #8f0056: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
