- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Drab sits directly opposite #bd3bed 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
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #bd3bed: 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 #bd3bed: 3 real palettes, including Hasbro's brand system and Peacock, as the supporting colour.
