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

- **Yellow Green** #9acd32 [harmony: complementary] — Yellow Green sits directly opposite #d28aff 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/yellowgreen
