#bd413drgb(189, 65, 61)hsl(2, 51%, 49%)oklch(0.55 0.16 25.7)Royal Blue, Sea Green and Steel Blue 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.
Royal Blue completes a triad with #bd413d — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Sea Green completes a triad with #bd413d — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Steel Blue is a split-complement of #bd413d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Teal sits directly opposite #bd413d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Amber is paired with #bd413d in 5 real palettes, including Ember and Maple, as the accent.
4 real palettes, including Tim Hortons's brand system and Dunkin''s brand system put Blue beside #bd413d, as the accent.
5 real palettes, including Woodsmoke and BrandSweets's brand system put Champagne beside #bd413d, as the text colour against it.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #bd413d: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
