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

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #d17aad: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Beach Hut (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/light#beach-hut), Mercury (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/mercury-com), Lido (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#lido). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal

- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #d17aad 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
