- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #c874af 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/cadetblue
- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: split] — Medium Sea Green is a split-complement of #c874af: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #c874af: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Beach Hut (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#beach-hut). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
