## Colors that go with #a34d85

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

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #a34d85 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/teal

- **Dark Olive Green** #556b2f [harmony: split] — Dark Olive Green is a split-complement of #a34d85: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkolivegreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #a34d85: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
