## Colors that go with #de59da

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 #de59da 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 #de59da: 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 #de59da: 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
- **Crimson** #dc143c [pool] — Crimson is paired with #de59da in two real palettes: Snyk's brand system and The Ordinary's brand system, as the lead colour.

- **Dark Goldenrod** #b8860b [harmony: split] — Dark Goldenrod is a split-complement of #de59da: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/darkgoldenrod
- **Cadet Blue** #5f9ea0 [harmony: triadic] — Cadet Blue completes a triad with #de59da — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cadetblue
- **Pale Violet Red** #db7093 [harmony: analogous] — Pale Violet Red is #de59da'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
- **Cornflower Blue** #6495ed [pool] — Designers have shipped Cornflower Blue with #de59da: Terminal, as the supporting colour. Seen in: Terminal (https://brandsweets.com/palettes/technical#terminal). — https://brandsweets.com/colors/cornflowerblue
