## Colors that go with #dd5fd5

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 #dd5fd5 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
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #dd5fd5: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. Seen in: Netlify (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/netlify-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #dd5fd5: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #dd5fd5 in two real palettes: Snyk's brand system and The Ordinary's brand system, as the lead colour. Seen in: Snyk (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/snyk-io), The Ordinary (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/theordinary-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/crimson
- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony, pool: analogous] — Medium Purple is #dd5fd5's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces. Seen in: Semrush (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/semrush-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/mediumpurple
- **Tomato** #ff6347 [pool] — Two real palettes: Night Market and Sunset Boulevard put Tomato beside #dd5fd5, as the lead colour.

- **Dark Sea Green** #8fbc8f [harmony: split] — Dark Sea Green is a split-complement of #dd5fd5: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkseagreen
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: triadic] — Cadet Blue completes a triad with #dd5fd5 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
