#ceecfdrgb(206, 236, 253)hsl(202, 92%, 90%)oklch(0.927 0.039 232.7)Charcoal, Cornflower Blue and Dark Orange 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.
Charcoal is the text near-black for #ceecfd: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette.
Cornflower Blue is #ceecfd's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
Dark Orange sits directly opposite #ceecfd on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Dark Turquoise is #ceecfd's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.

Light Coral is a split-complement of #ceecfd: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
