#fca2adrgb(252, 162, 173)hsl(353, 94%, 81%)oklch(0.805 0.107 11.8)Ballet Slippers on this page is the real value, not a screenshot: exact hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH, ten tints and ten shades, classic harmonies, and WCAG contrast with fixes — plus the curated palettes it appears in and any public brand that adopts it.
Charcoal, Crimson and Eggplant 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.

Dark Turquoise sits directly opposite Ballet Slippers on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
