Medium Sea Green, Charcoal and Light Sea Green 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.
Medium Sea Green #3cb371

Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for #c85def: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Light Sea Green #20b2aa
triadicshippedLight Sea Green completes a triad with #c85def — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Dark Goldenrod #b8860b
