## Colors that go with #c96dd0

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #c96dd0 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #c96dd0: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #c96dd0: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
