- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #dc6aba on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #dc6aba: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. Seen in: Mercury (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/mercury-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
