Plum, Blue and Crimson lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Plum #dda0dd

Deep Sky Blue #00bfff

Lilac #c8a2c8
split-complementshippedLilac is a split-complement of #a5e96d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #a5e96d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
