- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #ac754d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Steel Blue sits directly opposite #ac754d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
