## Colors that go with #b4649e

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

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #b4649e on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Next.js (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/nextjs-org). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #b4649e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
