## Colors that go with #ca6cea

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, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #ca6cea 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
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #ca6cea: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Netlify (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/netlify-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
- **Medium Slate Blue** #7b68ee [pool] — Medium Slate Blue shows up next to #ca6cea in 3 real palettes, including Obsidian's brand system and Lavender Haze, as the supporting colour.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #ca6cea: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Cornflower Blue** #6495ed [harmony, pool: analogous] — Cornflower Blue is #ca6cea's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
