## Colors that go with #aa2296

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #aa2296 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/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #aa2296: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #aa2296: 3 real palettes, including Peacock and Hasbro's brand system, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock), Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com), Chase (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/chase-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #aa2296: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: split] — Olive Green is a split-complement of #aa2296: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive

- **Blue Violet** #8a2be2 [harmony: analogous] — Blue Violet is #aa2296's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/blueviolet
