Teal #008080

Forest Green #228b22
split-complementshippedForest Green is a split-complement of #ac116e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Taupe #483c32

Steel Blue #4682b4

Charcoal #36454f

Midnight Blue #191970
shippedTwo real palettes: MLB's brand system and Nintendo's brand system put Midnight Blue beside #ac116e, as the lead colour.
