- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #cd6acd on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #cd6acd: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
