## Colors that go with #ca2fae

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

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #ca2fae 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/seagreen
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #ca2fae: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ca2fae: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Denim** #1560bd [pool] — Designers have shipped Denim with #ca2fae: 3 real palettes, including Hasbro's brand system and Peacock, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com), Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock), Maybelline (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/maybelline-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: split] — Olive Drab is a split-complement of #ca2fae: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab
- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #ca2fae's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

- **Orange** #ffa500 [pool] — Two real palettes: Sunset Boulevard and Rippling's brand system put Orange beside #ca2fae, as the supporting colour.
