## Colors that go with #ce5bd2

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

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #ce5bd2 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #ce5bd2: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #ce5bd2: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: split] — Olive Drab is a split-complement of #ce5bd2: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab

Seen in: Sunset Boulevard (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/warm#sunset-boulevard), Night Market (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#night-market). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/tomato
- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: triadic] — Dark Goldenrod completes a triad with #ce5bd2 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkgoldenrod
- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony: analogous] — Medium Purple is #ce5bd2's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumpurple
- **Cornflower Blue** #6495ed [pool] — Designers have shipped Cornflower Blue with #ce5bd2: Terminal, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cornflowerblue
