## Colors that go with #a44c85

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 #a44c85 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 #a44c85: 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
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #a44c85: 3 real palettes, including Chase's brand system and Ulta Beauty's brand system, as the lead colour.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #a44c85: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Orange** #ffa500 [pool] — Two real palettes: Sunset Boulevard and Rippling's brand system put Orange beside #a44c85, as the supporting colour.
