## Colors that go with #b00780

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #b00780: 4 real palettes, including Peacock and Chase's brand system, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock), Chase (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/chase-com), Ulta Beauty (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/ulta-com), Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #b00780 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony, pool: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #b00780: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Bun (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bun-sh). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #b00780: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #b00780's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: The Ordinary (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/theordinary-com), Lenovo (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/lenovo-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
- **Teal** #008080 [harmony: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #b00780: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/teal
- **Orange** #ffa500 [pool] — Two real palettes: Rippling's brand system and Sunset Boulevard put Orange beside #b00780, as the lead colour.

- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: triadic] — Olive Green completes a triad with #b00780 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive
