Taupe, Olive Drab and Sea Green 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.
Taupe #483c32
shippedTaupe is paired with #9e5aed in 4 real palettes, including Obsidian's brand system and Loom's brand system, as that palette's text colour.
Olive Drab #6b8e23
complementaryOlive Drab sits directly opposite #9e5aed on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Sea Green #2e8b57

Charcoal #36454f
