Dark Cyan #008b8b
complementaryDark Cyan sits directly opposite #dd031d on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Steel Blue #4682b4
split-complementshippedSteel Blue is a split-complement of #dd031d: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
