- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #dc6ac3 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Yellow** #ffff00 [pool] — 3 real palettes, including JetBrains's brand system and Gumroad's brand system put Yellow beside #dc6ac3, as the accent.

- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #dc6ac3: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
