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

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #cabb72: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
