## Colors that go with #ca4aed

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

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #ca4aed 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/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #ca4aed: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: split] — Dark Goldenrod is a split-complement of #ca4aed: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkgoldenrod
- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony, pool: analogous] — Medium Purple is #ca4aed's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Obsidian (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/obsidian-md). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumpurple
- **Taupe** #483c32 [pool] — Taupe is paired with #ca4aed in two real palettes: Loom's brand system and Obsidian's brand system, as that palette's text colour. Seen in: Loom (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/loom-com), Obsidian (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/obsidian-md). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/taupe
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: triadic] — Cadet Blue completes a triad with #ca4aed — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #ca4aed in Snyk's brand system, as the lead colour. Seen in: Snyk (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/snyk-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
