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

- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #bf3686's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #bf3686 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: split] — Teal is a split-complement of #bf3686: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony, pool: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #bf3686: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Bun (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bun-sh). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #bf3686: 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
- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Steel Blue completes a triad with #bf3686 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
