## Colors that go with #de5bf5

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

- **Lime Green** #32cd32 [harmony: complementary] — Lime Green sits directly opposite #de5bf5 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/limegreen
- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #de5bf5: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/lightseagreen
- **Charcoal** #36454f [role] — Charcoal is the text near-black for #de5bf5: softer than #000 and cool enough to feel like part of the same palette. — https://brandsweets.com/colors/charcoal
- **Medium Purple** #9370db [harmony, pool: analogous] — Medium Purple is #de5bf5's neighbour on the wheel, so the two read as one family — use it for hover states, gradients and secondary surfaces.
