## Colors that go with #c9599e

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

- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #c9599e 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
- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: split] — Olive Drab is a split-complement of #c9599e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #c9599e: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Tomato** #ff6347 [pool] — Two real palettes: Sunset Boulevard and Night Market put Tomato beside #c9599e, as the lead colour. Seen in: Sunset Boulevard (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#sunset-boulevard), Night Market (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#night-market). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/tomato

- **Indian Red** #cd5c5c [harmony: analogous] — Indian Red is #c9599e'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/indianred
- **Aqua** #00ffff [pool] — Arcade puts Aqua beside #c9599e, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Arcade (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#arcade). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/aqua
