Colors that go with Aurora
Charcoal, Deep Sky Blue and Lilac 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.
Deep Sky Blue #00bfff
split-complementshippedDeep Sky Blue is a split-complement of Aurora: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Lilac #c8a2c8
