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

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

- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [pool] — Royal Blue is paired with Bruise in 5 real palettes, including Console Light and GitHub's brand system, as the lead colour.

- **Dark Olive Green** #556b2f [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Olive Green is a split-complement of Bruise: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for Bruise: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
