Cornflower Blue, Dark Olive Green and Dark Orange 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.
Cornflower Blue #6495ed

shippedTaupe is paired with #acc011 in 10 real palettes, including Citrus Grove and Meadow, as the text colour against it.
Plum #dda0dd
complementaryPlum sits directly opposite #acc011 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #acc011: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
