- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #a44c81 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
- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #a44c81: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Next.js (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/nextjs-org). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen

- **Sienna** #a0522d [harmony, pool: analogous] — Sienna is #a44c81's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Woodsmoke (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/dark#woodsmoke). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/sienna
