- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite #ac3e7d 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

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #ac3e7d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ac3e7d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
