Cadet Blue, Olive Drab and Charcoal 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.
Cadet Blue #5f9ea0
complementaryCadet Blue sits directly opposite #c16cac on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Olive Drab #6b8e23

Charcoal #36454f
