- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #ddbfa2: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

- **Sky Blue** #87ceeb [harmony, pool: complementary] — Sky Blue sits directly opposite #ddbfa2 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
