- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Drab sits directly opposite #c505eb on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab

- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony, pool: triadic] — Dark Cyan completes a triad with #c505eb — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
