- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #be3c8e: 4 real palettes, including Chase's brand system and Ulta Beauty's brand system, as the lead colour.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #be3c8e 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/seagreen
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #be3c8e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #be3c8e: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: split] — Olive Drab is a split-complement of #be3c8e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab
