## Colors that go with #bc3ddb

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

- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Drab sits directly opposite #bc3ddb 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/olivedrab
- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: split] — Sea Green is a split-complement of #bc3ddb: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Next.js (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/nextjs-org). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #bc3ddb: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #bc3ddb: 3 real palettes, including Hasbro's brand system and Peacock, as the supporting colour.

- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: split] — Olive Green is a split-complement of #bc3ddb: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive
- **Medium Slate Blue** #7b68ee [harmony, pool: analogous] — Medium Slate Blue is #bc3ddb's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Taupe** #483c32 [pool] — Taupe is paired with #bc3ddb in two real palettes: Loom's brand system and Obsidian's brand system, as that palette's text colour.
