- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #ca4ef4 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

- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: split] — Dark Goldenrod is a split-complement of #ca4ef4: 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 #ca4ef4's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
