#ccb666rgb(204, 182, 102)hsl(47, 50%, 60%)oklch(0.778 0.104 94.4)Charcoal, Deep Sky Blue and Lilac 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.
