- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #aa5a91: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #aa5a91: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
