- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #a40e70: 4 real palettes, including Chase's brand system and Ulta Beauty's brand system, as the lead colour.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #a40e70 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/seagreen
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony, pool: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #a40e70: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Bun (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bun-sh). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #a40e70's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Midnight Blue** #191970 [pool] — Two real palettes: MLB's brand system and Nintendo's brand system put Midnight Blue beside #a40e70, as the lead colour.
