- **Crimson** #dc143c [harmony, pool: analogous] — Crimson is #cf3f96's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: The Ordinary (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/theordinary-com), Snyk (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/snyk-io), Redfin (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/redfin-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson

- **Sea Green** #2e8b57 [harmony: complementary] — Sea Green sits directly opposite #cf3f96 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/seagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #cf3f96: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Olive Drab** #6b8e23 [harmony: split] — Olive Drab is a split-complement of #cf3f96: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab
- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony: split] — Dark Cyan is a split-complement of #cf3f96: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkcyan
