Colors that go with Candy Floss
Charcoal, Emerald Green and Midnight Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for Candy Floss: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Emerald Green #50c878

Dark Khaki #bdb76b
