Denim, Taupe and Teal 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.

Teal #008080
complementaryTeal sits directly opposite #ad387d 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 #ad387d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Crimson #dc143c
analogousshippedCrimson is #ad387d's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Sea Green #2e8b57

Amber #ffbf00

Midnight Blue #191970
shippedTwo real palettes: MLB's brand system and Nintendo's brand system put Midnight Blue beside #ad387d, as the lead colour.
