- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Green sits directly opposite #940efb 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/olive

- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Royal Blue is #940efb's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
