- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #c07416: 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 #c07416: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Steel Blue sits directly opposite #c07416 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
