## Colors that go with #dd5fcc

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

- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #dd5fcc 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
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: split] — Cadet Blue is a split-complement of #dd5fcc: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #dd5fcc: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Royal Blue** #4169e1 [pool] — Royal Blue is paired with #dd5fcc in two real palettes: Loom's brand system and Ubisoft's brand system, as the lead colour. Seen in: Loom (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/loom-com), Ubisoft (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/ubisoft-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/royalblue

- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: triadic] — Dark Goldenrod completes a triad with #dd5fcc — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkgoldenrod
- **Pale Violet Red** #db7093 [harmony: analogous] — Pale Violet Red is #dd5fcc's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/palevioletred
