Taupe, Olive Drab and Dark Cyan 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.

shippedTaupe is paired with #9f60be in 4 real palettes, including Obsidian's brand system and Loom's brand system, as that palette's text colour.
Olive Drab #6b8e23
