#c0dbecrgb(192, 219, 236)hsl(203, 54%, 84%)oklch(0.877 0.037 235.5)Charcoal, Lilac and Sand lead the list.

Charcoal is the text near-black for #c0dbec: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.

Sand is a split-complement of #c0dbec: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
