#c7293brgb(199, 41, 59)hsl(353, 66%, 47%)oklch(0.544 0.192 21.1)Charcoal, Royal Blue and Steel Blue 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.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #c7293b: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Royal Blue completes a triad with #c7293b — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Steel Blue is a split-complement of #c7293b: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Teal sits directly opposite #c7293b on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Amber is paired with #c7293b in 6 real palettes, including Maple and McDonald's's brand system, as the accent.
5 real palettes, including Tim Hortons's brand system and Dunkin''s brand system put Blue beside #c7293b, as the accent.
Designers have shipped Cobalt Blue with #c7293b: 5 real palettes, including MLB's brand system and Behance's brand system, as the accent.
Dark Olive Green shows up next to #c7293b in 5 real palettes, including Farmers Market and Olive Grove, as the supporting colour.
