- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #db6729 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #db6729: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
