## Colors that go with #dd55ab

Named partners (harmony on the OKLCH wheel, co-occurrence in curated palettes and brand systems, and the neutrals that carry it), best first:

- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: complementary] — Cadet Blue sits directly opposite #dd55ab 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/cadetblue
- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: split] — Medium Sea Green is a split-complement of #dd55ab: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #dd55ab: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
