- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #d256a7: 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 #d256a7: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/olivedrab
