Charcoal, Royal Blue and Steel 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.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #db000b: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

Steel Blue #4682b4
