- **Lime Green** #32cd32 [harmony: complementary] — Lime Green sits directly opposite #db79fb 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/limegreen
- **Emerald Green** #50c878 [harmony, pool: split] — Emerald Green is a split-complement of #db79fb: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
