- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #cc0590 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/seagreen
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony, pool: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #cc0590: 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
- **Forest Green** #228b22 [harmony, pool: split] — Forest Green is a split-complement of #cc0590: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Bun (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/bun-sh). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/forestgreen

- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #cc0590's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
