- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #d16baa 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/cadetblue
- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: split] — Medium Sea Green is a split-complement of #d16baa: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
