## Colors that go with #d480f5

- **Lime Green** #32cd32 [harmony: complementary] — Lime Green sits directly opposite #d480f5 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/limegreen
- **Emerald Green** #50c878 [harmony, pool: split] — Emerald Green is a split-complement of #d480f5: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.

- **Dark Turquoise** #00ced1 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Dark Turquoise completes a triad with #d480f5 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
