- **Emerald Green** #50c878 [harmony, pool: complementary] — Emerald Green sits directly opposite #de6de8 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

- **Light Sea Green** #20b2aa [harmony, pool: split] — Light Sea Green is a split-complement of #de6de8: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
