- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #aa136d 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
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony, pool: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #aa136d: 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
- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Steel Blue completes a triad with #aa136d — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #aa136d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
