Colors that go with #96e5ee
Charcoal, Deep Sky Blue and Lilac 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.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for #96e5ee: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Deep Sky Blue #00bfff

Lilac #c8a2c8
