- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #da5f2f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Alpine (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/cool#alpine), Dusk (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/cool#dusk), Clean Beauty (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/minimal#clean-beauty), Diner (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/vivid#diner). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #da5f2f: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

- **Dodger Blue** #1e90ff [harmony, pool: split] — Dodger Blue is a split-complement of #da5f2f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
