## Colors that go with #a04fab

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #a04fab on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Next.js (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/nextjs-org). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #a04fab: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #a04fab: 3 real palettes, including Peacock and Linkedin's brand system, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock), Linkedin (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/linkedin-com), Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim

- **Slate Blue** #6a5acd [harmony: analogous] — Slate Blue is #a04fab's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/slateblue
