## Colors that go with #ca5def

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 #ca5def 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 #ca5def: 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
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: triadic] — Light Sea Green completes a triad with #ca5def — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. Seen in: Netlify (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/netlify-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: split] — Dark Goldenrod is a split-complement of #ca5def: 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 #ca5def's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
