## Colors that go with #dd6cea

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

- **Emerald Green** #50c878 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Emerald Green sits directly opposite #dd6cea on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. Seen in: Obsidian (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/obsidian-md). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/emerald-green
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #dd6cea: 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, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #dd6cea: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Auth0 (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/auth0-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Dark Khaki** #bdb76b [harmony: split] — Dark Khaki is a split-complement of #dd6cea: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkkhaki
