Medium Sea Green, Charcoal and Dark Goldenrod 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.
Medium Sea Green #3cb371
complementaryMedium Sea Green sits directly opposite #cd53fd 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 #cd53fd: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Dark Goldenrod #b8860b

Medium Purple #9370db
