Colors that go with Begonia
Charcoal, Light Sea Green and Amber 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.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for Begonia: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Light Sea Green #20b2aa
complementaryshippedLight Sea Green sits directly opposite Begonia on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Amber #ffbf00
shippedAmber is paired with Begonia in 5 real palettes, including Beach Hut and Ember, as the supporting colour.
Blue #0000ff
shipped5 real palettes, including Monzo's brand system and Sketch's brand system put Blue beside Begonia, as the accent.
Crimson #dc143c
shippedCrimson is paired with Begonia in 7 real palettes, including Target : Expect More. Pay Less.'s brand system and Burger King's brand system, as the lead colour.
Deep Sky Blue #00bfff
split-complementshippedDeep Sky Blue is a split-complement of Begonia: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Denim #1560bd
shippedDesigners have shipped Denim with Begonia: 7 real palettes, including Target : Expect More. Pay Less.'s brand system and Postman's brand system, as the accent.
Dodger Blue #1e90ff
shippedDesigners have shipped Dodger Blue with Begonia: 8 real palettes, including Abstract's brand system and Readymag's brand system, as the accent.

Contrast
| Begonia as text | Ratio | AA | AA large | AAA | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aaon white | 2.77:1 | fail | fail | fail | |
Aaon black | 7.57:1 | pass | pass | pass | Passes AAA — no fix needed. |
Fixes keep hue and saturation and move lightness only, so the suggestion stays on-brand. Ratios are symmetric: the same numbers apply with Begonia as the background.
