Colors that go with #aae916
Crimson, Deep Sky Blue and Red 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
complementaryPlum sits directly opposite #aae916 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Violet #ee82ee
split-complementshippedViolet is a split-complement of #aae916: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Charcoal #36454f

Mustard Yellow #ffdb58
