- **Medium Sea Green** #3cb371 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Medium Sea Green sits directly opposite #de54da on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Charcoal** #36454f [role, pool] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #de54da: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. Seen in: Hasbro (https://brandsweets.com/colors/brands/hasbro-com). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
