Colors that go with #d7ae28
Charcoal, Cornflower Blue and Deep Sky Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.

neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #d7ae28: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
