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

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ccbd7b: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

- **Sky Blue** #87ceeb [harmony, pool: split] — Sky Blue is a split-complement of #ccbd7b: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Lilac** #c8a2c8 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Lilac sits directly opposite #ccbd7b on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
