- **Dark Cyan** #008b8b [harmony: complementary] — Dark Cyan sits directly opposite #d70486 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/darkcyan

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #d70486: 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
- **Steel Blue** #4682b4 [harmony, pool: triadic] — Steel Blue completes a triad with #d70486 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
