## Colors that go with #cb00e6

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

- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony: complementary] — Forest Green sits directly opposite #cb00e6 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/forestgreen
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #cb00e6: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #cb00e6: 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
- **Olive Green** #808000 [harmony: split] — Olive Green is a split-complement of #cb00e6: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olive

Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com), Peacock (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#peacock). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/denim
- **Copper** #b87333 [harmony: triadic] — Copper completes a triad with #cb00e6 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/copper
- **Medium Slate Blue** #7b68ee [harmony: analogous] — Medium Slate Blue is #cb00e6's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumslateblue
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #cb00e6 in Snyk's brand system, as the lead colour. Seen in: Snyk (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/snyk-io). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
