## Colors that go with #ac3ea5

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, pool: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #ac3ea5 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Next.js (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/nextjs-org). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ac3ea5: 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

- **Blue Violet** #8a2be2 [harmony, pool: analogous] — Blue Violet is #ac3ea5's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Orange** #ffa500 [pool] — Two real palettes: Rippling's brand system and Sunset Boulevard put Orange beside #ac3ea5, as the lead colour.
