Colors that go with Ancient Chest
Crimson, Royal Blue and Steel Blue 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.
Crimson #dc143c
analogousshippedCrimson is Ancient Chest's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Royal Blue #4169e1
split-complementshippedRoyal Blue is a split-complement of Ancient Chest: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Steel Blue #4682b4
complementaryshippedSteel Blue sits directly opposite Ancient Chest on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
