- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #cdfefe: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.

- **Coral** #ff7f50 [harmony, pool: split] — Coral is a split-complement of #cdfefe: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Light Coral** #f08080 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Light Coral sits directly opposite #cdfefe on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
