Cadet Blue, Medium Sea Green and Taupe 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.
Cadet Blue #5f9ea0
complementaryCadet Blue sits directly opposite #cd6aaa on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Medium Sea Green #3cb371
split-complementshippedMedium Sea Green is a split-complement of #cd6aaa: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Taupe #483c32
shippedTaupe is paired with #cd6aaa in 3 real palettes, including Meadow and Blush, as the text colour against it.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #cd6aaa: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

Royal Blue #4169e1
shippedRoyal Blue is paired with #cd6aaa in two real palettes: Ubisoft's brand system and Loom's brand system, as the accent.
