Colors that go with Box Accent
Charcoal, Royal Blue and Sienna 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 Box Accent: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Royal Blue #4169e1
triadicshippedRoyal Blue completes a triad with Box Accent — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Sienna #a0522d
analogousshippedSienna is Box Accent's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Steel Blue #4682b4
split-complementshippedSteel Blue is a split-complement of Box Accent: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Teal #008080
complementaryshippedTeal sits directly opposite Box Accent on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Amber #ffbf00

Blue #0000ff
shipped11 real palettes, including Tim Hortons's brand system and Headspace's brand system put Blue beside Box Accent, as the accent.
