## Colors that go with #a54080

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 #a54080 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 #a54080: 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
