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

- **Teal** #008080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Teal sits directly opposite Blackened Sun on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony: split] — Steel Blue is a split-complement of Blackened Sun: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/steelblue
- **Blush Pink** #e8b4b8 [pool] — Two real palettes: Blush and Nursery put Blush Pink beside Blackened Sun, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Blush (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#blush), Nursery (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#nursery). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/blush-pink
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for Blackened Sun: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hinge (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hinge-co). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
