Olive Drab, Charcoal and Cadet 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.
Olive Drab #6b8e23
complementaryOlive Drab sits directly opposite #cc36dd on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the text near-black for #cc36dd: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Cadet Blue #5f9ea0
split-complementCadet Blue is a split-complement of #cc36dd: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Medium Slate Blue #7b68ee
analogousshippedMedium Slate Blue is #cc36dd's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

Dark Goldenrod #b8860b
