## Colors that go with #c54bd2

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

- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: complementary] — Olive Drab sits directly opposite #c54bd2 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
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #c54bd2: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #c54bd2: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue

- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony: analogous] — Medium Purple is #c54bd2's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumpurple
